Hi, this error is recently happening while extracting all the links from any page source, while extraction for the page itself is OK. ( not the source) Anything I can do differently to make it work from the page source as before? Thanks

az0 commented 6 years ago

Yes, I see the issue. The web browser does not allow the extension to allow access to view-source:* URLs, and at the moment I do not see how to fix this.

Thanks for replying Andrew.

Have a good day.

Is there a solution now? I'm using FF 56.0.2 and was using Link Gopher 1.3.3.1 but it's now giving an empty page so I installed build 2.0 which gives this access error.

Earlier I reached out to some developers, but I did not get a response. I have not had time to track it down more, but I believe this a limitation of the new extension system for both Firefox and Google Chrome.

FredThompsonII commented 6 years ago

version 1.3.3.1 works properly with FF 56.x but version 2.0 does not.

links on "normal" web pages are displayed, self-hosted pages, such as those created by Youtube Checker https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-subscription-checker throw the error.

Grrr....

This means version 1.3.3.1 is the version to use because the desired results are created but the processing time for the creation of links extends relative to the number of links on a page.

@FredThompsonII

Yes, version 1.3.3.1 uses Firefox's old extension system that they no longer support, so it does not have the limitation, which seems like a security restriction.

FredThompsonII commented 6 years ago

...hate that about Mozilla. They WERE a web browser company...

What can I do to speed up 1.3.3.1 with FF 56.0.2 unbranded?

az0 commented 6 years ago

@FredThompsonII I am not sure what you mean "speed up." Do you mean it takes a long time to load the links? In one of your comments, you wrote that it gives you a blank page, and then in another comment you wrote that it works

I can no longer support Link Gopher version 1.x, and starting with Firefox 57, Mozilla no longer supporters the "legacy" extensions system that Link Gopher version 1.x used.

I already tried reaching out for some help with other developers but did not get any response. If anyone is interested in funding a solution, I would manage hiring a contractor. This assumes that something can be done in the extension itself and is not an inherit limitation of the new WebExtensions system that Mozilla and Google provide.

I have got this missing permission error when trying to Extract All Links not from the view-source:* address but from https://addons.mozilla.org/ page. It works fine on GitHub, YouTube and other so long.
