[FIXED] CB broken on all Firefox versions higher than 43

[makondo]

In about:config reset this to false: xpinstall.signatures.required
Then install the version from the first post.

Custom Buttons add-on makes Firefox 44.0.2 start-up really slowly (1 min +) - you can see the storage used ticking away as it starts. It does start eventually.

Updating to the version at the top of this topic fixed this.

Update: an update is available through AMO so just install 0.0.5.8.2 normally. Ignore below.

All steps to install a working version for Firefox 44:

1. Download "custom_buttons-0.0.5.8-tb+fx+sm.zip" (from the first post).
2. Rename "custom_buttons-0.0.5.8-tb+fx+sm.zip" to "custom_buttons-0.0.5.8-tb+fx+sm.xpi".
3. Open "about:config".
4. Change "xpinstall.signatures.required" flag to `false`.
5. (optionally) Disable all unsigned extensions you already had (otherwise they will be installed upon next Firefox restart).
6. Uninstall current Custom Buttons extension (don't worry your buttons will only disappear for a moment).
7. Restart Firefox.
8. Drag "custom_buttons-0.0.5.8-tb+fx+sm.xpi" and Drop onto your Firefox.

After restart all your buttons should be back.

Fixed on the sources, see ...

Also should be fixed in custombuttons.jar\content\custombuttons\overlay.js (const -> var):

Code: Select all

const custombuttonsUtils = {
...
const createMsg = custombuttonsUtils. createMsg;
const gClipboard = custombuttonsUtils. gClipboard;

(also now becomes non-global variables)

Hello, everybody.

@antonglv: Infinite thanks for updating Custom Buttons!!!

Seeing that you are active these days, I would like to take this opportunity to "implore you" that you see if you can fix the initialization problem with the "menu" and "menu-button" types (as reported here and here). In a nutshell, "menu" type buttons are initialized twice and "menu-button" type buttons are initialized thrice (three times!). While it is relatively simple to avoid the problems this can cause, lately it is becoming a real headache.

Also, while you are at it, you could add the Spanish translation for Custom Buttons add-on posted here.

Again, thank you very much for keeping Custom Buttons alive, antonglv and all contributors!!!

As far as I climb on a career ladder I have less and lesser free time to develop the add-on But I would not want to disappoint the add-on's users (and myself), therefore I'll try to jump over my head. I won't promise but I hope I succeed.

Also, while you are at it, you could add the Spanish translation for Custom Buttons add-on posted here.

Done: https://sourceforge.net/p/custombuttons/code/ci/0c63eaedc3ec3fa5f4fcc06cf6b84665c40b1daf/
Couldn't you test it? (build 0.0.5.8.4 at https://sourceforge.net/projects/custombuttons/files/)
