Classic Password Editor - no toolbar button

Post by ltcomdata » 2025-11-03, 03:08

Hello:

The functionality of the "Classic Password Editor" seems okay.
But the toolbar button does not display for me.
When I customize the toolbar, the icon for the add-on does display in the icon palette.
But when I transfer the icon from the palette to the toolbar, I do not get the icon.
Instead, I get a small white square with a solid box around it.

Anyone else experience this? And do you know of a correction?

Thanks!

I had a similar issue that was caused by IDs containing hyphens. I replaced the hyphens with underscores and that solved the problem. I tried the same approach in this case and it worked here too.

Note: I haven't tested the functionality of the add-on, but it shouldn't be affected by this approach because I applied the changes to all files in the source code (xul, css, js). Please let me know if the modified add-on works correctly.

Screenshots:

I found that the button icon is "icon.svg", so I searched for the button ID (using this file name) to replace the hyphen with an underscore. I used the "dnGrep" application for all replacement operations.

For some reason it did not work for me.
I had the same exact issue with the modified version.

Since the only issue is with the toolbar button that opens the passwords window, I ended up installing the Saved Passwords Button from the old archived Firefox extensions.

Interestingly enough, if I install a theme --- any theme, it appears --- suddenly the toolbar button appears as it should.
But if I return Pale Moon to the default theme, the image in the toolbar button disappears again.

I've done some more tests on a fresh installed Pale Moon Portable with the "default theme" and "Classic Password Editor 1.1.3" and found that, indeed, the solution is not to replace "hyphens" with "underscores" (I won't go into details).

In another test on a fresh installed Pale Moon Portable with the "default theme" and "Classic Password Editor 1.1.2", I noticed that after installing the add-on, its button automatically appears on the far right of the "nav-bar", but without the icon. To correct this error, I used CSS code in the "userChrome.css" file in the "chrome" folder.

CSS code:

Code: Select all

#nav-bar #classicpasswordeditor-button image {
	list-style-image: url("chrome://classicpasswordeditor/skin/icon.svg") !important;
	width: 24px !important;
	height: 24px !important;
	padding: 2px !important;
}

#toolbar-menubar #classicpasswordeditor-button image {
	list-style-image: url("chrome://classicpasswordeditor/skin/icon.svg") !important;
	width: 16px !important;
	height: 16px !important;
}

#CustomizeToolbarWindow #main-box #palette-box #wrapper-classicpasswordeditor-button #classicpasswordeditor-button image {
	list-style-image: url("chrome://classicpasswordeditor/skin/icon.svg") !important;
	width: 24px !important;
	height: 24px !important;
}
