    So far changing the Other Pages to off option has fixed the search problem for me. We all know this can end at anytime as soon as google finally pulls the plug on the old format but I'll make use of it as long as it's there.

    For those using the good old youtube addon and getting the json txt file download prompt a Russian reviewer (had to translate) suggested toggling in options Page fix methods/Other Pages to off. So far that seems to have worked, although it often goes to the newer format when searching. Wish Google had left youtube alone but nobody ever expected they would . Maybe the anti-trust lawsuit against them will keep them busy for a while :--).

    That was something I always knew about but never used and you're right, it will open files with Word without extracting. For now I've had to disable good old youtube because when I use search from firefox home page it will sometimes open the download box to download json.txt. Very annoying since that is how I go to youtube most of the time. It's obviously a problem the developer is aware of since reviewers have mentioned it.

    @nicolaasjan, That makes it easier than extracting it. You can also directly edit the file with 7-zip within the .xpi and without extraction (it'll open notepad) but sometimes that works and sometimes not as far as corrupting the addon. Better to go with with a program like Notepad++ that's more reliable.

    That might work too. When I do it with notepad I'm getting the same corrupt problem where it won't install.

    The way I do it is to export manifest.json with 7-zip, open it with Microsoft Word then copy the updated code in and import it back into the .xpi addon.
  7. DanR20
    Try this for manifest.json if you're still having trouble, it works for me:

    @VistaLover, Thanks for that Good Old Youtube link and code fix, so glad to have the old format back. The new one is horrible.

    All's good now. :)

    Anybody else seeing this? When I try to extract today's Win32 UXP there are 17 data errors, including no omni.ja.
  11. DanR20
    This was a problem I was seeing months ago with UXP but no one else was apparently at the time. Now I'm getting occasional sudden crashes/shutdowns, sometimes with the error box beforehand. I'm suspecting these crashes may be hardware or addon related.

    It's been a while since I worked on Thunderbird but when replying to an email in MailNews there are three lines. Does anyone know how to reduce it to 1? I seem to recall that if you wanted more than one line you would hit enter on the first line. Edit: Ok I see where you can lift up the bar and it reduces it to none but still would prefer one line by default.

    Good job. :--)

    Didn't know that. I've only got 2 email accounts setup, Yahoo and Hotmail, which still uses the normal password. One small problem I ran into is the Get All Mall addon no longer works to check the Yahoo account for some reason. It does on Thunderbird 68 so it has to be a setting in MailNews.

    Nice job with MailNews. I was unable to add the Yahoo IMAP account with Thunderbird 52.9.1, kept getting configuration errors. They're now forcing everyone to OAuth2 so you have to delete the old Yahoo account and setup a new one. MailNews worked like a charm up so I can keep using Yahoo with XP.

    No didn't know he got banned :--). Not surprised and not sure why he has to be so rude, most of us actually like the work he and others are doing. The new box has 8gb ram but I setup Win10 as 32bit so useable is 3.5 gbs. Still much better than the 2gbs I had before.

    Despite your arrogant attitude I have to say the UXP browser is very nice and so I guess we can separate the harsh personality (and that's putting it mildly) from the work. I finally got a newer model with much better processing and more ram and it blows me away how much better this is. On XP it is screaming fast, very impressive.
  18. DanR20
    @Roy, The UXP builds are both win64. I got a error message trying to open the 32.

    @siria, Has Mozilla announced that they're going along with this? I know that by Chrome 85 they should that have in place but haven't heard about any other browsers yet. Of course, most of them are like sheep that let google run the show and set the standards so probably it's a matter of time.

    So have I and it's hard to know if I'm the only one with the problem or if it's a bug. The plugin for google hangouts (npgoogletalk.dll) appears dead but is it with them or the browser? Edit: google hangouts may be for US/Canadian residents only so not really testable for anyone else.
  21. DanR20
    Using a full theme here too, hate to lose it. Cant' see why it couldn't be reversed like nearly every other change they've been making to reduce features.
  22. DanR20
    Somewhat of a minor issue (at least for me since I spend most of my time on Win7) but it looks like the Google Hangouts plugin is dead. Tried in UXP and Moebius. With the newer versions of Firefox 68+ "media.peerconnection.enabled" = true works well but this does nothing with UXP or Moebius, the call starts then immediately disconnects. Does "media.peerconnection.enabled" require updated apis to make functional in these older versions?

    Twitter has really got it out for Firefox, no matter the version. Now even mobile gives a stripped down version with no video options, only text/pictures when using any firefox version string. So for UXP I set regular twitter to IE11 and because of the distorted audio issue in XP installed a mobile search engine to easily go to that page using a Chrome string to watch videos. A bit of an annoyance but at least it can be done.

    The new UI is horrible. Thankfully uBlock makes it easy to remove the never ending sticky objects they love to put all over the site. The old UI was bad enough but the new one is even worse and more difficult to read.
  25. DanR20
    It helps to check these problems before posting. With Firefox 68+ it's doing the same thing, redirecting to mobile twitter if you use a user agent switcher and set it to a newer string, including the default. I usually keep that on IE11, windows 7 but since it uses WMF there's no audio distortion. So the glitch is with twitter and not UXP, except that for XP users the IE11, windows 7 string for regular twitter means distorted audio. Wish they could fix that.
