Please release a build specifically targeting Palemoon, else it will Z-Notifier will be unusable in the coming update: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26657&sid=af3001cba14a4aefef65b98f3f2675b8

Sorry, but I'm not a Palemoon user, and I don't think I have time to maintain this for Palemoon, especially if it starts changing its APIs.

frmariam commented 3 years ago

I respect that.

I assume Moonchild (Palemoon dev) is not really trying to introduce new API but rather trying to breakaway from the Firefox brand and making sure he PM doesn't need to jump through hoops to support older unmantained extensions.

I use PM since Firefox extension apocalypse circa FF 57 (?) and not one of my past extensions was broken (apart for the UA spoofing ban - again, brand related).

Many users at the OM forum simply recompiled several extensions developed by others just to specifically target PM (not sure what that entails). Doing this with Z-Notifier does not mean it would need to keep compatibility in the future, if PM were to change in a different way. But having a sole xpi now, would allow keeping X-Notifier in future PM for the foreseeble future.

But again, your free time, your decision - I respect that and thank you for what you shared with others as is. I'm not capable of doing it.

I can probably follow this myself: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=16785

But if a future build of Z-Notifier features this, you could release it in Palemoon extension page. Don't know if you are interested in having more users. Currently X/Z-Notifier have no working XUL alternatives
