Mozilla seems to be willing to implement new features on top of the WebExtensions model in order to enable support for popular extensions like NoScript. It looks like that are asking for plugin developers to reach out to them to let them know what is needed. So, I would probably try to have a chat with them in regards to if something will not be possible on their new extension model.

In particular, the "Deprecation of XUL, XPCOM, and the permissive add-on model" is troublesome.

This DownThemAll blog post describes some of the issues:

In short, Rikaisama/Rikaichan may be dead in 12-18 months time.

First of all, I'd like to express my deepest gratitude for all of your outstanding contributions to the community, I've used many of your innovations over the past years, all of them have provided a great deal of help and never fail to impress me. I sincerely appreciate your generous efforts.

I don't want to be too forward; but my Rikaisama has stopped working since Firefox's last update (Firefox 40.0.3), when I click on the plugin icon nothing happens, it also strangely disappeared from the right click context menu, however it seems to be a minor bug or something.

Thank you in advance.

For some stupid reason, they decided not to allow Firefox users to install unsigned apps. Not even as an opt-in option. There apparently are some workarounds, but they seem to involve hacking Firefox (so it would be a lot of tinkering - I'm a programmer, and I still didn't have the patience to read through the whole article explaining how to do it).

Hopefully, Firefox will sort this out soon, and put in a security setting that would allow users who know what they're doing to install whatever they want in their browser. In the meantime, the quickest solution to the problem is to just roll your Firefox back to an earlier version (Firefox 39 would be the last good option). You can do that simply by downloading Firefox 39, installing it over your current Firefox, and then disabling updates.

P.S. Oh, I should've read cb's post. I guess the updated version of Rikaisama is signed? Oh well, I wish that would help me too. Unfortunately, I have to continue sticking with Firefox 39, because I have a lot of other add-ons that are much less likely to be updated anytime soon.

In fact I've also done modifications to Rikaisama, so I would probably have to do them all over against if I decide to update.

Quote:Firefox 40-42: Firefox warns about signatures but doesn't enforce them.

Firefox 43: Firefox will have a preference that allows signature enforcement to be disabled (xpinstall.signatures.required in about:config).

Firefox 44: Release and Beta versions of Firefox will not allow unsigned extensions to be installed, with no override.

In about:config you may set "extensions.rikaisama.epwing_apply_remove_regex_when_saving" to false to prevent this from happening.

I use Debian Linux with the XFCE desktop environment. Like other desktop environments for Linux, XFCE's default settings map Alt-click to the action of moving a window by grabbing any part of it, not just the title bar. Although this can be reconfigured, I don't like to alter what have become standard keyboard shortcuts for Linux desktops as it makes things confusing when one has to move between different machines running Linux. The result of this is that I cannot use Super Sticky mode on a link without opening that link since Ctrl-click is a Firefox shortcut for opening a link in a new tab. An earlier post detailing some version changes seemed to indicate that Ctrl-click had a similar problem in the Mac OS, and that is what lead to the addition of Alt-click as an alternative lookup command. The fact that Alt-click allows one to perform a lookup on a link without opening it in a new tab seems to have been a windfall. Perhaps a simple solution would be to make the lookup command for Super Sticky mode user-configurable. That way users could pick a key/click combination that does not conflict or overlap with other commands.
