Hi, as title says recent update of firefox disabled the themes, will need an update to fix it I guess.

Can't install here too

Why should this be a bug? As you can see it on the screenshot the theme version says 51.20170123. This means it is compatible to version >=51 and not with a version <=50. It is also mentioned in the release notes:

  • Firefox 51 support

You can also always check the install.rdf if you're not sure which version of firefox is currently supported:

<em:minVersion>51.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>54.0</em:maxVersion>

If you'd like to stay on version <=50 for whatever reason you can download the version compatible pre-compiled xpi file or build the xpi file on your own and install it manually.

As of writing of this comment, Firefox 50.1.0 is the latest version from official Fedora 25 package repositories.

If someone wants to install Firefox 51.0.1, they need to run this:

sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing firefox

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm a Arch Linux user, but this doesn't change my statement that this is not a bug. It can be seen more like a kind of distribution limitation while the theme and the firefox addon website are working fine.

By the way, it is possible to install older versions of a firefox addon via the official website. I've tested it by installing firefox version 50.1.0 and it works fine.

  1. Go to the Arc theme firefox addon website, scroll down to the "Version Information" toggle section and click on the "See complete version history" link. ghi-102-scrot-version-information-toggle-section

  2. Find the last version of the addon that is compatible to your firefox version and install it. ghi-102-scrot-older-addon-version

As of yesterday firefox 51 was released for ubuntu repository and theme is fully functional again! yaay \o/ I think it will arrive soon enough for other linux distros.

I am an on Manjaro, XFCE and last update broke something as well... Current version installed is 50.1.0 So I am confused, which version of FF is supposed to still work so I can downgrade...

The theme was disabled when my Firefox was updated to 50.1.0, but after a few days after the 51 version update everything was working as expected. When the 51 version lands in your Manjaro repository the theme will be good to go again.
