If so, maybe, Mozilla's addon site recognizes a higher version, or you have changed the user agent for addons.mozilla.org. I am sure it is the last. I could find the uBlock Origin site on addons.mozilla.org in Mypal 68.13.0b only after changing my user agent to a higher (>= 78) Firefox version.

Look in about:config whether there is an entry called general.useragent.override.addons.mozilla.org and check its value. If it is not existent, or the string contains a Firefox version less than 78, you can't find the uBlock Origin site on addons.mozilla.org.

In my browser Mypal 68.13.0b, the uBlock Origin site on addons.mozilla.org doesn't appear unless the user agent is set to a higher Firefox version (>= 78). Anyway! uBlock Origin 1.47 won't work properly in Mypal 68. It is not meant to work in Mypal 68. Gorhill changed the minimum version not without reason. @Milkinis!

VistaLover Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) uBlock Origin (Web Extension) v1.47.3.1 (shown here) is actually: "uBlock0-1.47.3b1-git-20230224-gbb203d9" There's an XPI for that in the GitHub repo: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/download/1.47.3b1/uBlock0_1.47.3b1.firefox.signed.xpi If one downloads the XPI on disk and then tries to install it in Mypal68, (I assume) it won't, because it requires Fx 79+, so I have no clue how it got there in the first place... Sometimes GitHub misbehaves and when you left-click the XPI link directly on the GitHub releases page, it'll bypass the "gecko" version check... Another hypothesis: Although functionally incompatible with a gecko68 engine, build "uBlock0-1.47.1b0-git-20230215-ge83dbd8" (while available as an XPI) would have no issues installing; perhaps that one progressively auto-updated through to 1.47.3b1 somehow? gorhill only changed the gecko version to 79, as far as auto-update was concerned, on Feb 19/20th ...

AstroSkipper Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Update notification! @feodor2 has uploaded a new pre-release of Mypal 68.13.0. Here is his post: and here is the link to GitHub: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/160#issuecomment-1546736807 JavaScript is now at level 78 in this new pre-release. Very important is to uninstall all language packs if used before installing this version. The new pre-release of Mypal 68.13.0 doesn't seem to be compatible with the old Firefox language packs. I already installed the new pre-release, and two sites which weren't working in the old pre-release are running again: VirusTotal and Leo. More tests in the next days! In any case, @feodor2 made a great job! Thanks again for sharing your work!

AstroSkipper Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) @feodor2 You mentioned the breakage of the old Firefox 68.12.esr language packs. Did you change a lot of entities in the en-US locales of your new pre-release? Or are there other reasons for the breakage? I had a quick look into them but before comparing to the old ones I thought it would be a good idea to ask the developer directly.

When time is available, I will compare the locale files of your latest pre-release with the files of the old German language pack. Then I can clearly see which files and entities have been changed. I did that already for MailNews from scratch and development is still in progress. The old language packs of Thunderbird 52.9 have not been working for many years. Therefore, I know what is to be done to get it working. The only real problem is always the extent of the changes. Unfortunately, it is usually a meticulous and elaborate detail work, and Mypal in English or German is actually the same for me. After comparison I will know more in any case.

I will also test uBlock Origin 1.49.2 in my installation. If it really works without compatibility problems, that would be a sensation.

AstroSkipper Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) @feodor2 I already tested different websites in your new pre-release. My Windows XP hardware is very old and logically weak. Therefore, I notice every little change in the speed of page loading. Your current pre-release loads all pages much faster. Everything is much smoother. I am thrilled.

In any case, clicking this button leads to this error shown above in the console, and the Connection Settings page can't be opened.
