ηMatrix/eMatrix support thread

[coffeebreak]

GitLab is hostile towards Pale Moon, making the page unreadable.

Current release of GitHub Web Components Polyfill also supports GitLab.
Solves that for me.

[New Tobin Paradigm]

It isn't a solution to anything.. AT BEST it is a hacky workaround that doesn't change the reality that Gitlab is hostile just like github and COULD support us outright but won't. To say nothing about the glory whore behind the extension, you [#*&$%@$#%@#$]

Moderator note: unnecessary hostile namecalling removed.

[vannilla]

Eventually I'll move out of Gitlab, but I can't yet set up the environment, mostly on the local side of things (i.e. accessing the remote site.)
Anyway, official releases are always provided through the browser's official extension site, so aside from the changelog it's fine if you can't access the XPI from Gitlab since it's only for testing, which can be done also by cloning the repository using git itself and packaging the XPI yourself, rather than using only the pre-built package.

[coffeebreak]

if you can't access the XPI from Gitlab

The xpi seems to be visible/downloadable (without the polyfill) by its tag, though not as a release.

[coffeebreak]

It isn't a solution to anything.

Off-topic:
Regardless how you personally feel toward its developer...
The GitHub/GitLab Web Components Polyfill extension gives, for the present, a way to use Pale Moon with the GitHub and GitLab web interface.
For anyone who wants or needs to do that, it's a near-term, practical solution to an immediate problem.

A true fix to the underlying problem would be to finish implementing customElements.
But that doesn't look like it will happen soon.

[New Tobin Paradigm]

I would have said the same even if it was someone like vanilla or moonbat who created it. It isn't a solution.. It is a hacky workaround.

To everyone: Stop calling workarounds .. solutions.

4.4.9 is now considered stable and has been submitted to the official update channel.
I've waited less time than other releases because the exploit being fixed can be serious depending on the circumstances, as it can lead to browser crashes and potentially other issues.

eMatrix_cant_see_hilights.png

I cannot see what has been selected and unselected with dark theme.
Makes this important extension unusable for me.

Any ideas how to fix?
Thanks for eMatrix!

[EDIT]
I found that the control window is taking my set 'page colors', so I installed 'Toggle Page Colors'. Toggling my colors to disabled, when I need to change eMatrix settings, resolves my issue.

[New Tobin Paradigm]

Contact the theme developer.

[vannilla]

Any issues with non-default colors has to be brought to the ones changing them, doubly so for dark mode as I consider it a meme and strongly antagonize its adoption.

[paledude]

Hello gentlemen and furries, I have been using PM with nmatrix for years but in the last year on both windows and linux, the icon for it on the upper right has not been displaying on some installs, I tried activating/ reactivating the icon, install uninstall, no luck. This annoying change is making me about to abandon PM, can anoyone please refer me a fix?

thanks

[vannilla]

Please provide screenshots (if possible at all) and test it on a new profile.
Simply make a new profile using the profile manager, do absolutely nothing but install eMatrix from the addons site, then see if the issue persists (e.g. restart the browser using the new profile.)
It's probably the already-known issue caused by eMatrix being bootstrapped/restartless, but even if it has been reported already anything related to that can help narrowing the set of things to look out for to fix the issue, so please do try to be as detailed as possible.

[Pause]

I'd also suggest checking View -> Toolbars -> Customize and seeing if it's in there, as I've seen an extension conflict with a couple of others (including this one) and make them repeatedly end up there instead in the past.

Off-topic:
I believe the extension in question was Grabit, but I never tried it on a different profile or anything, so can't be certain it wasn't just me. Admittedly with Linux being mentioned it's obviously less likely the user is using Grabit due to it including a Windows executable.

[vannilla]

Hello,
I've released a new version of each extension I have written. The update was pushed to prepare for the removal of Pale Moon's original (as in "unique") GUID, by adding a block with Firefox's GUID.
For most extensions this change doesn't really bring anything except a higher version number, so I'm not going to make a post for each of them, "piggybacking" on eMatrix, which is probably the most used among all the extension I maintain, instead.

Unfortunately eMatrix required some deeper changes to accomodate for the "restoration" of the Firefox GUID, but that was mostly because of Basilisk and since that browser is now discontinued, it ended up by just some code removal.
Anyway, even though it shouldn't break anything, if you see something strange please do report it as soon as possible.

P.S.: due to some internal mismanagement, if you pull eMatrix from git you'll see a tag "v5.0.1" even though the install.rdf file lists it as 5.0.0.
You can safely ignore this difference, as it doesn't really have any particular impact.
By the way, I've added a Changelog file under git, so you can check release notes without interacting with Gitlab, which is becomning increasingly unusable.
The long-term plan is to move at least eMatrix to RPMO (the Gitea instance managed by Moonchild) if possible.

[Michaell]

Maybe I misunderstood something, but 4.4.9 is still latest release on Gitlab page (not using Git). But I got it from addons site.

[vannilla]

The web interface doesn't work under Pale Moon and I can't be bothered to use a different browser, so I won't update Gitlab like I used to.
If you mean that the tags are missing, then maybe I simply forgot to push them. I'll do it when I have the local repo at hand again.

[moonbat]

That polyfill by Justoff works fine with Gitlab.

[wavymoon]

Just a FYI
I was having trouble with getting the ηMatrix popup control to display. The about:performance page showed Theme Builder (by Riis) might be causing a slow down. I disabled (was not really doing anything for me) it and wala it loads fine now. I have no idea why this would happen.
I am thinking I will disable/remove Themetool as well as I do not think it is doing anything for me either, just a remnant of my efforts to get Pale Moon looking the way it does on my older machine with a different graphics card..

Ok now youtube has this problem. Is this a known problem or am I seeing this wrong??

[vannilla]

If it's about the toolbar button disappearing, that's a known an probably unfixable bug.
If it's something else... you need to be more specific, maybe add a screenshot too.
I don't know what you are talking about regarding youtube.

[wavymoon]

ooops I meant to put in a screen shot!
Thanks for the fast response.
(I sent to your email BTW)

This happening on a few sites, can't get to the control panel (or whatever it is called) to adjust site settings.
