68.14.6a:  already have went back to browser.xul (xioxui scripts are working again)

Great!  Mypal 68.14.6a again with browser.xul. But who or what is xioxui?  Maybe, you meant xiaoxiaoflood?  Anyway! Development must go on but keeping compatibility as far as possible would be really great.  That's why I don't like Mozilla's way of development. New releases, and compatibility breaks without end.

hen all features of the UserCSSLoader script are definitely working

I told this plain, there is only one "Import" and  one "Open" items which do no work (nothing happens when to click).

Furthermore it will be true to tell that "Create" and "Edit" items do not work too, they ask some "editor path", instead just edit. I think 99% users wont bother with "editor path" and consider it is broken, and finally what is the "path" is not obvious at all.

For installing a custom button, you click the "Open file" dialogue from the browser

Yes now its works, new custom button menu inside the extensions has appeared, but before it was absent thus I decided it doesn't work.

 

However, you did not tell at all about what recent foxes are working with your stuff. You know the bug was of that I renamed browser.xul too early but skipped stages important for this, and I shall rename it again sooner or later.

I don't think that 99% users won't bother with "editor path" and consider it as broken. The popup clearly tells the user to set a path to their favoured editor via a preference called view_source.editor.path in about:config for editing CSS files by this script. As it is totally self-explanatory, I have not mentioned this.  If a path to your favoured file manager was set in line 46 of this script and a path to your favoured editor via view_source.editor.path, then all menu items will definitely work. And you doesn't seem to have understood what the "Import styles" entry is intended for. When clicking this entry, then all CSS styles will be loaded again on the fly. In the case that all styles have already been loaded, then clicking onto it will logically do nothing.   But you can check very easily whether this feature is working or not. Copy a new style in the form of a CSS file into the CSS folder while the browser is running. It is not yet loaded. Now click on "Import styles", and the stylesheet is loaded immediately, i.e. without restarting the browser.

As far as I know and have read about this extension, it should work in more or most recent Firefox versions. However, since I hate all recent releases of Firefox and am a die-hard Windows XP user, I did not explicitly test the most recent Custom Buttons extension in more recent Firefox releases. I use the newer, crappy browsers as they are and only when I have to.

I know. You are the creator of Mypal 68, and you have to decide what will be changed and updated in your browser. I am just a creator of custom buttons, CSS styles and scripts, a code modifier who tries to fix already existing code to make it working again. Nevertheless, I developed a lot even for Mypal 68. Anyway!
Do what you have to do but please keep in mind that compatibility is a valuable asset contrary to what Mozilla is doing . To preserve the possibility to run some older stuff in more recent versions of Mypal 68 would be great, though.  But if it is not possible to preserve certain, old stuff due to important and necessary changes, then, for better or worse, that's what will happen.
Don't worry about my beloved custom buttons! I have already started to port my custom buttons into UC.JS scripts. Unfortunately, I have to change a lot, and the JavaScript syntax is different, but I have steadily expanded my JavaScript and CSS skills. But one thing is crystal clear. The Custom Buttons extension is simply great, incomparable and in all its facets irreplaceable.  So, try to keep the compatibility with the Custom Buttons extension as long as possible! 
BTW, I have already fixed all issues by myself in Mypal 68.14.5b regarding the broken UC.JS scripts and CSS styles. Except the Custom Buttons extension, of course. For the UserCSSLoader, I created a complete, new CSS stylesheet. But it was much more complicated to do as before which means I don't like the new CSS. The old one was much easier and more effective. I don't understand why the more recent has to be the more complicated and restricted in these days.   And I replaced the Extension Options Menu script by a more recent one.  Unfortunately, I could no longer save my version.uc.js script, and therefore I had to replace it with something similar.

As you may know, Custom Buttons is an extension that also runs in newer Firefox versions up to the very latest.

I'm sorry, but you are contradicting yourself.  I want Mypal to PROGRESS FORWARD.  None of us should want ONE extension (ie, Custom Buttons) holding back the FORWARD development of Mypal.

You have SEVERAL posts in this thread that are quite MISLEADING.  I for one THOUGHT you were testing in VERY LATEST and MORE RECENT versions of Firefox.

Sad to say, but it is a bit MISLEADING to only NOW here that your die-hard XP use did NOT in fact test in any recent Firefox release.

Carry on, of course.  But please do not waste a DEVELOPER'S time with MISLEADING statements.

I for one was MISLEAD.  Maybe the developer was not.  In which case, ignore everything I've just said, lol.

Why should I test things I hate and which are already reported elsewhere to be working?  So, there is no contradiction at all and nothing is misleading. This thread is not about modern Firefox browsers. So, I fear you are somehow confused and misled as you didn't really follow this thread and my thread about Mypal 68 in its entirety.  And BTW, you did nothing meaningful here. One doesn't have to put his two cents in everywhere.  Especially if one doesn't need Mypal 68 at all. And as you already stated, you are a Windows 10 user at home. This browser is not meant to be used under this OS. And you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. So, you have no real use for this browser.

And please, speak only for yourself! You don't know what others think or want.  This is a very bad habit.  And since you don't actually have any use for this browser, it's not particularly relevant what you would like to see in the development of this browser. Sorry, but that is the truth.  
But if you want to keep shooting at me, then don't force yourself.  But, as is often the case with you, it has absolutely nothing to do with the real issue.

I use XP !!!  On three of my seven computers at home!  The eighth computer (the Acer Aspire One POS) is actually getting Windows 2000 as we speak.  It is my understanding that Mypal will eventually be usable on Win2k.  I thought I read that somewhere.

I have use for this browser and regret that you see otherwise.

Not the case according to GitHub's main page.  Regardless, I HAVE THREE COMPUTERS HERE AT THE HOUSE STILL ON XP.

No, they don't surf "daily", but they do need the ability to surf.  I have just as much of an interest in the SUCCESS of Mypal as every other member reading this thread.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

Astro, if you wish to PM me, the single/multi-process toggle is the *ONLY* "custom button" I have any interest in testing/using.

Aside from that, I concede to your authority regading "custom buttons".  But if you/we/feodor needs this tested in non-XP, then I volunteer that service.

Last time, you stated that you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. You have to stand by your statements at some point.  You've given up Windows XP and you've said so everywhere. You only need Windows XP for your oldtimers, but not for everyday surfing. Somehow, you're just a flag in the wind. Like this today and like this tomorrow. 

[NotHereToPlayGames]

I don't recall ever saying that I do not surf anymore under XP.  Regardless, WHO THE H#LL CARES!

Time for the OT Police.  Let's get back to Mypal!

Does the "custom buttons" extension need tested on a non-XP more-recent version of Firefox or not?

As @feodor2 already tested this extension in Mypal 68, I think it costs only seconds to test it in a more recent Firefox version. I assume that a developer also has access to more modern Windows versions. But if you want to test this extension, do it and report here your results. I'm not going to do that because I don't care about modern browsers. I definitely don't develop anything for these browsers.
