Scientific Calculator not working in Waterfox (but does work in Pale Moon) #14

Open NotesTracker opened 6 years ago

NotesTracker commented 6 years ago

I've been using Pale Moon browser for a while, and have found it to be a nice fork from Firefox but it deosn't support all add-ons that I want (such as RoboForm) but it does support Scientific Calculator.

I only just discovered Waterfox, which I've found does support RoboForm and other must-have add-ons such a Tab Mix Plus. But for some reason although Scientific Calculator seems to install properly I cannot get it to be present in a toolbar so cannot use it. Any idea why not? Why would it work in the one pre-57 Firefox fork but not the other one?

Any ideas about tweaks to to try in Waterfox that might make it work?

I don't know Waterfox, but if you figure out what needs to be changed I'd be happy to apply the necessary changes. Maybe it's enough to add Watefox in the install.rdf but as you say you were actually able to install it so it could also be a different issue...

Thanks for your reply! ... I'm new to Waterfox, and only installed it 3 or 4 days ago. Waterfox (and Pale Moon) are forks from the official Mozilla Firefox product, and they behave more or less like Firefox did prior to Firefox version 57.

I only turned to Waterfox after trying Firefox 57, for which most of my 20 or so add-ons no longer worked and because it has a horrible UI which I could not bear tto work with -- so I've uninstalled Firefox 57 and now depend on Pale Moon and Waterfox to keep running those important add-ons in order to be able to continue working effectively.

I mentioned the above because I could not find any install.rdf file on my system (in a Waterfox-related folder or anywhere else) that looks like the one that you specified, whereas I did find a few other install.rdf files that were for other add-ons. Where should the install.rdf file for Scientific Calculator be found, would you think? Where would it be for Firefox prior to varsion 57, for example, then perhaps I might find it in a similar location for Waterfox (which, after all, is just a variation of Firefox 56 and earlier).

Eduard, perhaps you would be interested to try Waterfox, it's a quick install and basically like using an earlier version of Firefox. See https://www.waterfoxproject.org/ ... Aber nur wenn du die Zeit hast. -- Regards, Tony.
