MAFF Extension Problem

[TSMARll]

What other extensions, if any, are you using?

OK – I was able to get all MAFF functions working correctly in PM 26 using version 3.1.2 and applying the “Gecko-Content-Viewers” tweaks – but only when I installed it in a brand new profile that never had the original MAFF xpi file installed.

My reasoning for saying this is that I now have two “identical” profiles with 18 addons and 2 optional themes installed. The original profile was created using an unedited 3.1.1 file and it has never been able to open .maff files, even when MAFF was removed and then an edited 3.1.2 file was installed.

So I created a new profile and used a version 3.1.2 xpi file that was edited before it was installed, and all MAFF functions worked fine. Then I added all of my other Addons and Themes and everything works as it should.

I then went back to the “original” profile and disabled all Addons and Themes and uninstalled MAFF. Then I reinstalled the same edited 3.1.2 xpi file that is working in my second profile – but it does not work in this “original” profile even with all other Addons and Themes disabled. Go Figure!

I also tested a brand new profile in PM Portable v25.81 that had only the MAFF extension installed and it was working fine. I then copied this profile into PM Portable 26 and the MAFF functions did not work – no surprise here – but when I copied this same profile back into PM 25 the MAFF functions would no longer work. I’m sure there are known issues with going from 26 back to 25, but I tried it just to see what might happen, and 26 broke a working MAFF install.

Thanks everyone, simply replacing Gecko with Goanna did the trick here, too.

I've forked it. For discussion of the fork please visit its thread, or just to directly grab it, go check it out on the Pale Moon Add-Ons Site.

Thanks for forking it, certainly gives more confidence this wonderful extension will be in PM indefinitely.

But as someone else pointed out, the new fork is the same workaround and thus won't work for some of us without wiping one's profile. I'm not willing to do that, so I'm sticking with the AMA original until it breaks and use frozen FF to read Maffs. (Not intending to be contrarian by posting this, just an FYI to others reading this.)

The issue is being looked into. Further discussion should be made to the MozArchiver thread.
