[FIXED] not compatible with Gecko < 51

[barbaz]

Tried to install the newest NoScript dev build in my SeaMonkey 2.46pre (based on Firefox 49.0.2), but couldn't. The link on https://noscript.net/getit gives a 404 error, and AMO's version is incompatible -

Version 2.9.5rc21
Released November 13, 2016 • 551.5 kB
Works with Firefox 51.0a2 and later, SeaMonkey 2.48 and later

Does this mean Gecko < 51 can no longer be supported by NoScript? Or will compatibility be brought back with a later dev build?

Nope, 2.9.5 stable is meant to support 45 ESR at least, but there's some critical compatibility bug to be fixed (hopefully by tomorrow) before I can lower the min version down there.

Thanks

So that means further version after 2.9.0.14 will not work with Pale Moon (27) ?

A quick check would indicate 2.9.5rc33 seems to work in Pale Moon 27 with only one change, and that is adding Pale Moon {8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4} to install.rdf.

Unfortunately devtools aren't part of Pale Moon 27 yet, so I can't really check it out properly at this stage.

Code: Select all

Thanks! Adding the GUID to the install.rdf is no big deal. Maybe Giorgio can add this easy fix.

For devtools: Take a look at this Pale Moon addon: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/devtools/ or here: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=13553

Well, he can if he decides to support Pale Moon. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21759

As noted, the original concerns here are resolved and have been for some time. Regarding the Pale Moon stuff, I unwittingly bit off more than I could chew and a long off-topic discussion ensued. And now, that discussion needs to be merged to one place, not scattered around the board in a way that sends mixed messages.

Therefore, moved most of the Pale Moon discussion to viewtopic.php?p=84908#p84908 and locking this thread.
