[SOLVED] pentadactyl compatibility with newer firefox versions

Firefox 34 broke pentadactly (even with a rebuild of pentadactyl from mercurial) - and a comment on the addons page suggests that development of pentadactyl may have stopped.  With luakit in mothballs and portix putting dwb on the back burner I'm running out of browser options that don't suck.
mod note: posts 1-12 here were split off from Grr thread.
EDIT: while this post was not originally intended for troubleshooting, feedback on the grr thread turned it in that direction.  To provide direction for the thread, the initial issue of version incompatibility is solved below, but a remaining bug for hint symbols remains.

I had changed it to use the home keys for hints, so it's not toooo painful, if still irritating.

I'm slowly trying it out again. I'm using ffx mainly still, but am configuring xombrero and trying stuff out.
Will be a day or two before I either jump, or not.

  • How to find out if my add-ons are compatible with new firefox version before i install?

    Is there a way to discover whether any of my current add-ons will be disabled/incompatible *Before* I upgrade to a newer version of Firefox?
    Whenever I've updated Firefox, I haven't found out until After the new version is installed that my favorite 'must-have' add-on is incompatible and there is no viable/satisfactory alternative to it. The loss of Certain add-ons is, for me, a deal-breaker to upgrading. And it's a royal pain to downgrade to the previous version to retrieve my add-on.
    I don't know if addiction to particular add-on(s) is common - I figure I can't be the only one . . . ?
    It would be So helpful if there were a database or list that shows which add-ons are/are not compatible with which versions of Firefox. Is there such a thing? If not, could one be created?
    Thanks for your help!

    Firefox 9.0.1 is a real old version and is no longer supported - Firefox 24.0 is the current release version.
    Open the Add-0ns manager tab and click on '''More''' for each extension that you have installed. Near the bottom of each "More" there should be a link that will take you to the download page where you can verify compatibility.
    Or use this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/ - but I'm not sure how well it will work when you are so many versions 'behind the curve'.

  • ServiceDesk software not working as expected with new Firefox version

    After recently upgrading to Firefox 5.0, I have discovered that the ServiceDesk software I use with Firefox no longer works as expected. This software is ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus 8.0. The problem is irratic but unique to Firefox. I don't have this problem with Chrome or IE.
    The problem is this: When I open an issue, several fields become active, one of which is the description field where the user who sent the issue typed the description of their problem. When editing the issue and the active fields become active, sometimes this description field is completely blank, meaning their description is gone, but not really. I have to close the page and try to re-open hoping this time, the description will be shown. Also, there is a tab for me to enter a resolution when I want to close it. I cannot enter anything in this field, or rather I can, but when I save it, nothing gets saved to this field, so the user doesn't get to see my resolution. The default font for ServiceDesk is Arial, but I know something is amiss because the default font is Times. If the font shows as Arial, then I know everything will be okay.

    I knew I would figure this out as soon as I posted it...
    This is the behavior you see if the SamAccountName field is not included.

    With the new firefox version i was supposed to have the new design,but is till have the old one.How do i turn on the new one?

    Are you referring to Australis? <br/>
    http://people.mozilla.org/~shorlander/files/australis-designSpecs/australis-designSpecs-windowsXP-lunaBlue-mainWindow.html
    Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 has that new User Interface. But Australis won't be in a release version until Firefox 30 or 31, well into 2014.

    Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
    1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
    http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
    2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
    3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
    4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
    At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.
    Best Regards...

    Don't know if there is an option make the download window stay up, but you can bring it back with Ctrl+J then right-click on the download to open the folder it was downloaded to.

  • How can I extend the time I am timed out on the new Firefox version?

    The new version of Firefox which I recently installed times me out after a very short period of time. I can I extend the time that Firefox times me out to at least one hour of inactivity.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == right after I installed the new Firefox version today

    If you have an Exchange account on your iPad for which the admistrator has specified a limit on how long you can set the auto-lock, the only way to change it is to remove the Exchange account. Once you put the Exchange account back on, the restriction will be back in place. Apple has nothing to do with this.
    Exchange admistrator often require that devices be passcode protected and that the device will autolock so they delete the "Never" setting.

  • Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

    Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?
    I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

    flon
    I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
    On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
    Please review the discussion in the following thread
    Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
    Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
    There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a problem with new Firefox and Gmail?

    I cannot get Gmail to work consistently with new Firefox. sometimes it loads, sometimes it lets me enter my password details and then crashes; sometimes I can view my inboxes up until I select a message and then it crashes... I've submitted several crash reports already but not heard anything back as yet.

    Thanks for replying. Only trouble is that the machines I'm having problems with already run the most up to date versions. In fact, by pure fluke, my wife's laptop which has automatic updates switched off is running FF 8.0.1 and this is the only way I can consistently access Gmail without crashing.
    It runs XP if this information is useful.

  • My ipod 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    My ipod touch 3rd generation OS  5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Correct the spelling of search on your link to
