Incompatible w/ Seamonkey (was: Mark as installable in Seamonkey)

[pde]

Not sure if there are any gotchas for this due to Jetpack

[diracdeltas]

Have you tested that it actually doesn't install on seamonkey?

[diracdeltas]

At least some of the Jetpack APIs that we use appear to be incompatible with Seamonkey. Upon marking as installable in Seamonkey and installing, I get the error:

console.error: privacybadgerfirefox: 
  Message: Error: Unsupported Application: The module sdk/tabs/tabs currently supports only Fir
efox, Fennec.

Given that it would take a lot of effort to switch from using Jetpack APIs to direct XPCOM for Seamonkey, I'm marking this wontfix for now,

Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1023661

The upstream bug has now been fixed; Firefox's Add-on SDK is now compatible with SeaMonkey. Can this enhancement request be reopened?

[cooperq]

I have reopened it and will test privacy badger on seamonkey

[cooperq]

@mylittleplaceholder is also interested in this.

[Woi]

Please add my vote, too.

[rodneyrod]

I'd be interested in testing any plugins as they come out.

[zoff99]

+1 please at least mark it compatible that seamonkey users can install and test it. does not really make any sense to NOT mark it compatible

[cooperq]

If someone wants to submit a patch marking this as compatible with seamonkey I will happily merge it.

[zoff99]

just add these lines to install.rdf

    <!-- SeaMonkey -->
   <em:targetApplication>
      <Description>
        <em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
        <em:minVersion>1.1</em:minVersion>
        <em:maxVersion>2.*</em:maxVersion>
      </Description>
   </em:targetApplication>

[zoff99]

at this position just under the firefox part

[zoff99]

any news on this?

[teicher]

Well, according to Add-Ons directory, it should be compatible, but when I download and run the xpi, it just sais "...could not be installed because it is incompatibe with Seamonkey 2.39". Since Ghostery dropped Seamonkey Support lately, Seamonkey users desperately need some working privacy tool for current versions...

[zoff99]

please just add those lines to install.rdf

[cooperq]

I did! and I marked the version in AMO as compatible with seamonkey... can you try downloading the sefl hosted version from https://eff.org/privacybadger can you also unpack the version from AMO and tell me whats in the install.rdf

[zoff99]

does NOT work. i downloaded from this link now: https://www.eff.org/files/privacy-badger-latest.xpi

and install.rdf does not contain the lines

install.rdf___.txt

install.rdf from that xpi is attached

[zoff99]

what is AMO??

[cooperq]

AMO is addons.mozilla.org, privacy badger can be downloaded here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-badger-firefox/

I will have to look into why the self hosted version didn't get the changes that I made.

[zoff99]

AMO also does NOT work. install.rdf does not contain seamonkey entry!

[cooperq]

Weird, I makred it as compatible with seamonkey on AMO. I will look into this further.

[cooperq]

Here is the listing on AMO, which says it's compatible with seamonkey. I don't really know what else I can do.

[zoff99]

you need to make sure that entry is really inside the install.rdf file inside the xpi file you MUST put that entry there yourself. only marking it does not do anything

[antdude]

FYI. It is still not installable in v2.40. :(

[zoff99]

does PB have a menu item or a config screen? when i manually make it compatible with seamonkey, i can not see if it's working or not. there is no icons, no menu, no indication ..

[cooperq]

Yes there should be a badger icon that you can click on to see a list of all the trackers being blocked.

[zoff99]

on seamonkey they icon is not there. can you add an item to a normal menu somewhere?

[cooperq]

If someone wants to submit a pull request adding an item to a normal menu they are welcome to. I don't personally have time to work on it.
