Does not work on GNU IceCat #128

Open sevmonster opened 4 years ago

sevmonster commented 4 years ago

On a fresh profile of GNU IceCat 68.4.1esr (based on Firefox of the same version) Auto Tab Discard does not work properly. Setting the favicon and everything else seems to work fine, but discarding the tab with chrome.tabs.discard does not. The error given in the browser console is: discarding failed <unavailable> isFirefox is true so it isn't trying to use Chrome's method. On Firefox 68.4.1esr it works.

please reopen if you still have the issue

Still does not work on 68.9.0-gnu1. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/tree/?h=68 I cannot reopen this issue. I imagine you don't want me to create another.

Where is the binary file? The last one I found is 60.7.0

I use my own builds on Alpine Linux and I have also tested with @muslayev's Windows builds here: https://github.com/muslayev/icecat-win64/ He also seems to be testing 78.0.1 ESR. I just upgraded and tested and the addon still does not work. I have seen some rumbles of a proper upstream update for IceCat on the mailing list and other forks.
