Felipefpl commented 8 months ago

I cant add ublock 1.53 as my extension, luckly i got the 1.52 version here. I installed it but i dont see it on Add-ons section.

Felipefpl commented 8 months ago

Also, the ublock's GUI cant be seen properly as it is on firefox: ublck

It's just not compatible with this Waterfox version. You shouldn't be also using Waterfox Classic, cuz it's without security updates and is discontinued project, instead of migrate to Basilisk, Pale Moon or Waterfox G.x. Last update of Classic was in 2022, so don't expect that will be fixed.

@MrAlex94 didnt issue a blog's post saying this is dead, if he says so ok then.

But i hope someone will take the project foward. 👍

hawkeye116477 commented 5 months ago

Seems that you have too much faith in that project. Well, if it wasn't dead, then I think update would come in January 2023. I think that MrAlex should archive that repo to make that clear. I also doubt someone will fork it, cuz it's basically almost 2 years without updates (and even earlier some security things were skipped), so that could be a lot of work to get it into proper condition. Maybe better for someone would be to just fork Pale Moon and add to its code webextensions.

I might be forking it, but not to update it. I want to experiment with the Classic codebase.

Also for that Pale Moon comment, I actually found Tobin on Matrix and was discussing Firefox, Pale Moon, etc, and I asked him about webextensions yesterday, and got this.

"working e10s and webex support in a Pale Moon UI won't be possible without some extreme refactoring and basically converting the UI to customizableui which would render pretty much anything but webextensions non-matching"

@hawkeye116477 I think you've built Waterfox Classic before, how exactly do I build this? I tried latest Mozillabuild and ./mach bootstrap, but that gave me an error, something about Python 2.7 missing.

hawkeye116477 commented 5 months ago

@K4sum1 I think that you'll need MozillaBuild 3.4, can't be higher version than that, cuz newer removed Python 2.

K4sum1 commented 5 months ago

@hawkeye116477 Got a little further but I now get "missing key: 'url'" running it after picking to build "Firefox for Desktop".
