Plugins for Firefox 47 and ESR?
Plugins for Firefox 47 and ESR?
How could I get plugins for Firefox 47 and ESR, which are included in Fienix? The inbuilt add-ons manager does not work in these browsers. Is there any Greasemonkey or VPN plugin compatible with either of these version?

Just curious; is there a reason you're using Firefox? I was planning on removing it completely from Fienix as we have better options, and Firefox PowerPC is at least 10 major releases behind now.Roland wrote:How could I get plugins for Firefox 47 and ESR, which are included in Fienix?

I think it would be premature to remove Firefox totally....! Unfortunately there are still things that Arctic Fox/Spideweb cannot do correctly. E.g. they cannot show Instagram videos! I just consulted Wicknix about this problem: For Arctic Fox there is not the needed codec, and SpiderWeb has an endianess problem which causes that the colors are mixed. There is not yet a solution for these. And there are also some other videosources which can currently be watched only with Firefox 47.caseycullen wrote:Just curious; is there a reason you're using Firefox?

Another reason is that the plugin collection for Arctic Fox/Spiderweb is more limited than for Firefox. If there just would be some way to get those installed...

Fair enough. Did you ask Sebaro about Instagram support in ViewTube/ViewTube+ when you requested support for the other video sites you use?Roland wrote:I think it would be premature to remove Firefox totally....!

Do you have any specific add-ons in mind that you'd like? The simplest solution is probably to add them to the repo since Firefox add-on manager causes older browsers to crash if you try to browse add-ons.
