Completely destroys the UI in Tor Browser (Firefox 45.5.1)
I tried this add-on with Tor Browser 6.07, which is essentially just a slightly modified version of Firefox 45.5.1. Unfortunately, it completely destroyed the user interface and turned it into a broken, garbled mess. Web pages were completely blank, menus would not pop-up properly - it became completely unusable. I had to forcibly remove the add-on by deleting the .xpi file, as I could not use the Firefox add-ons page.
I believe @Quicksaver has removed all compatibility code with older versions of Firefox, including 45 ESR branches as well. So I'm pretty convinced he not gonna fix this.
I see. That's very disappointing for Tor Browser users, but thanks for the information.
Actually the add-on is fully functional with the latest ESR 45, or it should be at least. :wink: I'll take a look and see what I can find.
Works fine for me. Have you tried disabling all your other add-ons and see if that helps?
Thanks for looking into this. I investigated a bit further, and you're right - it does work with Firefox 45 ESR. However, it doesn't work with Tor Browser, which is based on that same Firefox 45 ESR. Tor Browser comes with four different add-ons out of the box (HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript, Tor Button, and Tor Launcher), but even if I disable all of those default add-ons for testing purposes, this one still completely breaks the UI. I suppose it must just be an incompatibility due to some underlying change they made to the original base code, then?
Have you tried disabling all your other add-ons like I mentioned, not just the default ones?
I don't have any other add-ons installed. Just the default ones; this add-on was the only custom add-on that I was trying. I even downloaded a fresh copy of Tor Browser, with its own fresh profile, and the UI immediately got destroyed as soon as I installed this add-on again. It's very strange that it worked for you and doesn't for me. What could the cause be?
I tried it on both Ubuntu 16.10 and Windows 10, and experienced the issue on both.
Disregard what I said in the previous comment, of course it can't do that. I must still have been half-asleep when I thought about that. I'm sorry about that.
Still, I just tried it again and it's working just fine in a fresh install, it's very weird that it isn't working for you. Are either of your Ubuntu or Windows installs fresh installs? Trying in a new profile wouldn't hurt.
