NoScript 2.9.5.3

Post by Jojo999 »

I have Pale Moon 27.1.2 (32bit) running. I just noticed that NS seems to be stuck back on v2.9.0.14, last updated 10 Aug 2016.

It appears that v2.9.5.3 is current version per another post here that I saw.

WHY is my PM not updating NS? And where can I find the v2.9.5.3 release, if that is the one I actually need?

Thanks.

AFAIK, NoScript 5.0 should be working in your PM.
(At least that's what install.rdf says.)

NoScript 5.0 does work in Pale Moon. I've tested it.

That's a question for the Pale Moon people. NoScript isn't responsible for handling updates.

Some here contend 5.0 NOT fully compatible in PM.

Hardly a meaningful "report", http://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/06/noscri ... nt-4179552.

At least I'm glad that Mr. Anonymous has lots of followers, devotees ;-).

Some there are trolling. The only Pale Moon specific issue is viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22539

Do people who write stuff like this ever bother with proper troubleshooting? -
Just tried it with Pale Moon, not fully compatible, I have to allow all scripts globally. Back to 2.9.5.3 until I remove it definitively, like it was the case for Firefox already.
@Andy: So why the author of NoScript is keeping Pale Moon as targetApplication in the install.rdf? This nonsense so evident for you could not be so evident for others, don't you think?
(emphasis mine)

Ignore them and go test it, like I have done. You won't regret it. :)

OK but assuming it does not work for me, how do I find this 2.9.5.3 release?

FF says "Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer"
PM says "This add-on could not be downloaded because its origin could not be verified"
Chrome and IE 11 just show XML.

I tried copying the actual XPI link and putting that in the address bar and got that to work in IE11. Otherwise, the direct link did not work in FF or PM and gave the same msgs as above.

I received this replay on the PM forums when I asked why NS was not getting auto updated:

"I would say because of compatibility. Pale Moon use Firefox 27.9 as useragent for AMO, so if a addon say the min-gecko is higher then 27.9 you doesnt get a update.'
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15079

Is this correct? It would seem then that NS will no longer get auto updated in the future then. Can this be adjusted/repaired so that NS updates again become automatic?

Nope. Changing that UA override to Firefox 52 doesn't help.

Really, we can't help with this. Even I don't use Pale Moon enough to know what next.

But "if it were me", I'd look at this -

Could you translate that into something that a non-programmer could understand?

Since I don't understand it all either, not completely, but I will try.

First off, I should have mentioned that I confirm the problem in Pale Moon 27.1.2.

By default, Pale Moon presents itself like this to AMO -

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; X11; rv:27.9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.9 (Pale Moon)
That tells AMO 'Hi, I'm Firefox 27.9 on Linux.' Which, if true, would mean the browser doesn't support NoScript. But it's not true.

Changing it to present like this, which says 'Hi, I'm Firefox 52 on Windows 10', does not get NoScript to update for me.

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
You can check this yourself - just modify about:config > general.useragent.override.addons.mozilla.org

That code box lists two about:config preferences. My uneducated guess is that those are the URL templates for addon update checking. Unfortunately I don't understand enough about those URLs to make any more sense of them than you did, sorry.

Again, the Pale Moon people will probably be more helpful than we can be.

NoScript's minVersion on AMO is higher than 27.9. Thus, it will not auto update for us. Additionally, note that version 5.0 is not fully compatible with us anyway due to including WebExtension code.

If the developer wants to produce a version specific for Pale Moon, the following can be used with regards to where such a version can be hosted (so we can get updates properly):

If NS doesn't auto update on PM, then there are a lot of people who are going to be running back-level with whatever problems that brings.
