DownThemAll no longer functions under Nightly 136.0a1 starting 2025-01-23-21-50-52
As the title suggested, Firefox once again (!) breaks DownThemAll. DTA does not show in Context menu or Dropdown menu.
Problematic build: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2025/01/2025-01-23-21-50-52-mozilla-central/firefox-136.0a1.en-US.win64.installer.exe Last working build: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2025/01/2025-01-23-09-52-38-mozilla-central/firefox-136.0a1.en-US.win64.installer.exe
FF Nightly 136a With the fixes mentioned in the thread, got these scripts working as of feb 3:
- rebuild_userChrome.uc.js
- Extension Options Menu
- Statusbar
- MinMaxClose Button
- Open in Unloaded Tab
- Second Sidebar
- Auto Plain Text Links
- Context to Search
- Tabmixplus
- Styloaix: It's mentioned in the linked issues that it's partially working, haven't tinkered with it again yet
These scripts are still broken:
- Mouse Gestures
- Enter Selects
- Private Tab
if a script isn't listed here is because I don't use it.
Now that some time hav epassed these extensions are still broken (most): save file to, rehost image, pilfer, norwell history downthemall, dorando keyconfig and backtrack tab history.
On the other hand All legacy extensions that I use (save file to, rehost image, pilfer, norwell history, downthemall, dorando keyconfig and backtrack tab history) have been disabled with no option to enable, about:config option to ignore signatures is greyed out, would need to wait for extensions updates
Fixing keyconfig was pretty straightforward but when trying to reinstall it I'm getting "the addon appears corrupt" message so I don't know what the problem is. Fortunately benzBrake's keyconfig script still works great provided "security.browser_xhtml_csp.enabled" is toggled false.

There are event handlers that need to be updated in some of these scripts and setting security.browser_xhtml_csp.enabled to true will break them.
Dumby's custom buttons paxmod version still works too thankfully so all is not completely lost yet...

looking around it seems to be related to signatures. Adding a manifest xml and submitting to firefox extensions website as a personal use extension supposedly works but when i tried that for savefile to, although it did let met install it, it wasn't functioning.

This is a temporary fix, and Firefox plans to remove this option in the future.

Unfortunately, several if not all of the scripts need to be refactored to work with Firefox 136, and given the lack of interest in updating the scripts by the owner of this repository, I think this is the end for these scripts unless someone takes over and updates them, which I highly doubt anyone will want to do.

That's interesting, I'll have to upload the addons that I've updated to my extensions account and see if that will get them to install.
Another option is to do what Dumby does with his legacy custom buttons addon. He provides two versions: a bootstrap.xpi and paxmod.xpi. The paxmod one uses the experiment_script and seems to bypass some of the problems.that keep popping up with the constant code changes.

Well good news for keyconfig users: benzBrake updated the KeyChanger.uc.js today so now I'm able to toggle "security.browser_xhtml_csp.enabled" back to true and all of my custom buttons and scripts work. Now it's just getting the extensions back online.
Thanks to @117649 for updating the rebuild_userChrome.uc.js file:

be sure to share any that you manage to get working again
