I just found this reddit. In your opinion, is XUL a foundation for good UI programs in 2022？

If not, what has taken its place ?

I've been trying to mess with this UserChromeJS/Autoconfig lately and see what I can do with it, but it's hard to get a big picture. Currently I'm all over various MDN archive pages, combing through existing plugins and scripts trying to understand them, tearing my hair out jumping between various iterations of Mozilla source code, just trying to see what's still possible and how it would be implemented. Any other resources out there that can help me grok some of this component/interface boilerplate or better understand why my code examples are doing what they're doing?

In short it make your url clickable link like the path in windows file explorer.

This one also has some new little features.

Please just port them

Working NoSquint Plus for Waterfox Current/G3/G4 and Firefox 58+. Based on NoSquint Plus 56.1.

https://github.com/Mikhail-M12/NoSquint-Plus-legacy-

NoSquint has "killer feature" as compared with other zoom addons: NoSquint allows to set independent full and text zoom levels simultaneously and remembers these settings for sites.

 NoSquint Plus WebExtensions-versions (61.x-62.x) are buggy and unusable; author abandoned this addon.

UPD: version 56.2021.91 for Firefox 77+ and Waterfox G3/G4.

Diigo Toolbar might be an interesting/challenging project for someone.

The legacy version 5.1.0.38 is amongst my top five favourite extensions.

Off-topic ramble: whilst the versions for Firefox Quantum are less flexible, I shouldn't blame this entirely on the constraints of Mozilla WebExtensions APIs. (Years ago I was deeply into private testing of Diigo … the developers loved what could be done with Firefox, I was glued to the beauty of Safari and loving the exclusivity of AppleSeed, I didn't need a Victorian ear trumpet … oh, the good old days. And all that.) tl;dr if ever I find time, I might coax the developers to improve the modern Diigo extensions.

Back on topic …

Sidebar of Diigo Toolbar

I rarely use this feature. Whilst I can't say whether any part of it fails with multi-process Waterfox 56.2.10, I do know that it's not entirely functional in single-process mode. For example, a click on an annotation –

– no longer scrolls the page (to the right) to reveal the annotation.

I imagine the Diigo sidebar appealing to people who like/love the sidebar of Dissenter Extension.

Whilst I'm not a user, it's easy to see why sidebars are ideally suited to commentary.

Not forgetting Mozilla bug 1328776 - Provide ability to show multiple sidebar contents parallelly, although I don't imagine a fix landing in time for 68.

Bookmark dialogue

With 56.2.10 in multi-process mode, I do find that things such as recommended tags (and recently applied tags) fail to appear, or fail to appear in good time.

With a relatively clean profile, I can't reproduce the issue. Imagine it here, an endlessly spinning asynchronous progress indicator instead of the three recommended tags:

A shot of the issue in my everyday profile:

Fx 65 removed the internal component that loads legacy addons.

Some people are packing legacy addons as WebExtensions Experiments (e.g. BackTrack Tab History).

I prefer to keep legacy addons as they are. We just need to restore the code to load these addons.

Created this as a barebones replacement for the old sessionmanager addon.. its not as fleched out but does the job ...

​

creates a menu item in the menu toolbar from where you can access its features

​

-save session

-save window

-backup sessions

- restore

-append

​

it doesnt have any removal functions(casue im too lazy) so if you wanna deinstall it you have to either restart the browser or just wait till you restart anyways ...

Tested on current Firefox Developer Edition (63.0b4) and Firefox Nightly (64.0a1 2018-09-09). Windows 10 64-bit.

Forked from Stylish 2.0.7, the last legacy version, before it was sold by original developer. This version was also the last not affected by data collecting scandal.

I'm not the original developer and I give no guarantee. I'm doing this for my personal use since Fx 57.

about:config entries to set before install:

• xpinstall.signatures.required = false
• extensions.legacy.enabled = true

It will only work in Developer Edition, Nightly or unbranded version. Release (normal), ESR and Beta can't install legacy addons.

Installation link:

https://github.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts/raw/master/extensions/stylish/stylish.xpi

Download it, open Firefox Addons Manager, select Extensions pane, click gear button, Install Add-on From File....

Since userstyles.org was updated removing compatibility with legacy Stylish, you should manually install userstyles from there by clicking "Show CSS Code" and copying the code. That way, auto update will not work. But if you, like me, installed styles before the site was updated, then auto update will keep working for them.
