I checked a moment ago that a different version wasn’t installed by default, if indeed such a thing can occur. Wladimir, version 2.6.6 most definitely does work for me with Firefox 3.0 on Linux Mint 17 KDE. They are using the latest Adblock Plus version that still works with Firefox 3.0, Adblock Plus 2.6.6 definitely doesn’t… Can you tell me if this latest version is worth a shot ? I’d mostly like to use it when watching longer video, documentaries etc on YouTube. I’ve just installed Linux Mint 17 KDE but found that the Adblock Plus that came with it, version 1.1.4, caused Firefox to lag pretty badly, so I removed it. I have had no issues with the new version, with FF 33.0.3.Īs far as “palemoon” goes, if there are problems, maybe a simple solution would be to use an old version of “adblock plus”. I think that the Pale Moon team should do what the developers of Light do: Branch off popular extensions that don’t work unmodified then again, Light still tracks Firefox, so their task is easier. It’s inconceivable that you would fork it without taking this major aspect of the browser into consideration. Don’t build a fork if you can’t stand the loss of functionality of the original product.įirefox is a plug-in browser. Expecting plug-ins of forks to work, however, is silly. However, “439 commits” (currently displayed in the Pale Moon source code repository) doesn’t exactly sound like Pale Moon is shortening the distance to current Firefox versions.įorks are great. So far I didn’t have time to look into it myself. Note that these are merely my conclusions based on the information in the ticket.

in order to get rid of some Firefox-only JavaScript constructs). As things are now, Adblock Plus will likely be broken in Pale Moon with the very next release already as we plan to stop supporting outdated Firefox versions (e.g. And even then we’d have to keep work-arounds in place that we would rather remove. This means that the testing we do in Firefox is useless – we have to do additional (and rather extensive) testing in Pale Moon as well. I have strong doubts that we can properly support Pale Moon – it is based on an outdated Firefox version with modern JavaScript features and new Firefox functionality only backported selectively.
