Mouseless not working on Firefox interneral pages #14

Closed joereddington closed 4 years ago

joereddington commented 4 years ago

Mouseless isn't triggering on pages internal to firefox - is that a known issue?

Examples:

The ad-on manager
The LastPass preferences page
Mouseless's page on the mozillia site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/mouseless-plugin/

any ideas?

Mozilla doesn't let any add-on modify internal pages or addons.mozilla.com (for good reasons - imagine an add-on which made itself impossible to uninstall by breaking the add-on manager), and mouseless works by injecting some javascript into pages. There's sadly not really anything I can do about it.

Sounds like a pretty good reason. Shame really. Workarounds appreciated, but will close issue
