It's been removed by mozilla due to using javascript loaded from gfycat, and that's now against Mozilla policy


presumably an update will eventually come out that removes all the live javascript, but ^that^ works fine if you save it to your pc and then drag it into the addons window.

Have a few SALR functions stopped working?

Reply post highlighting and Thread title collapsing, twitter inlining and url tags also appear to not be working.

e: timg and img seem to be a bit hit and miss too.

e: thread bookmarking no longer works.

e: nevermind, it looks like an adblock issue, fixed it.

I submitted a new version to a.m.o without the problematic Gfycat stuff. It also has the fix for the forum rules-hiding code breaking things. The settings page has had most/all jQuery removed, so color picking will be a little different and is still subject to change.

When the new version is approved, SALR will automatically update which might require you to refresh your open forums tabs for things to work properly.

In related news, I also submitted some fixes to the forums JS so the native forums Gfycat embedding should work again soon.

e: native forums gfycat embedding is now back :toot:
SALR is 11 out of 11 in the current review queue.

Is the multiple window bug finally fixed?

If you have 2 browser windows open and try to use the plugin with a regular left click, it will always open in the first tab of your first open window. Really, really loving annoying if you're, say, watching YouTube or Netflix in the first window. Particularly if you're watching Amazon Prime because you'll lose your place in the show/movie.

I was able to reproduce that problem and it does seem super annoying.

Just popped by to do a queue status update: 7 of 12. The submitted version doesn't have a fix for this bizarre replace-first-tab behavior, but theoretically after this manual review future version submissions will be automatically approved.

e: Fixed for 2.1.8.13a14. Version a13 is in the queue; once that's approved I'll submit a14 with this and any other changes.
e2: version a13 is 6 of 13 in the queue now, but allegedly there will be more reviewers around on Monday

So much for reviews being faster during the week; we're at position 8 of 9 on version a14.

I'm asking the addons.mozilla.org addon review people if manual reviews are just what we should expect going forward rather than the automated reviews we were getting in the past. So far, the answer I've received is "I don't know."

If that ends up being the case, I'd probably set up separate self-hosted development/beta builds (for reference, legacy SALR was distributed entirely as self-hosted). If we fix a bug that's been bothering people, I want you guys to be able to benefit from that right away. The snag with self-hosted dev builds would be that the extension wouldn't share an id (and therefore wouldn't share data) with the a.m.o version, so your settings/notes/etc would have to be manually exported/imported over to switch between them. However, you'd get builds more quickly/frequently and be able to test any new features and bugfixes early.

We'll see how it goes. Ideally we'll be able to go back to the automated a.m.o reviews and not have to hassle anything else.

e: Some of my info may have been outdated. It looks possible to upload a new version for self-hosting with the same ID, though if it works that would preclude that version from being used on a.m.o. Basically, dev builds would be able to auto-update to future dev builds, but not to release builds.

e3: :siren: version a14 has been approved! Reminder: SALR will automatically update (or you can go to about :addons and check for updates); when it does update, you will have to refresh any open forums tabs for things to work properly in said tabs.

There's a fairly-popular dark theme type user style or two floating around, but yeah a native forums dark mode that isn't the YOSPOS theme would be pretty cool.

I use the SA dark mode addon thing for Firefox but it doesn't fully play well with SALR, particularly with the quick reply box which is still blindingly white.

That's not SALR, though. I thought you were talking about something like SALR's 'go to last read post' or 'mark thread unread' buttons in a thread list looking weird. What you screenshot is just regular forums CSS (+chrome's overrides), so you could fix it with a user stylesheet if you want. Simplest would be just to target the buttons. You could start with something like

code:
.bginput {
	background-color: #111111;
}
and work from there to pick out whatever's left over or accidentally included.

A full forums dark mode would be interesting, and if one ever became official we would definitely make a dark mode quick reply. Until then, though, I'd have to suggest using another user stylesheet to target quick reply.

e: I like the idea of eventually having a dark mode SALR button popup, though. That one wouldn't need to worry about blending in with the forums since it's browser UI.

To the anonymous person who was curious about having SALR add !important to its post-highlighting element styles so as not to be overridden by a user stylesheet: for some parts of it, it might make sense. I'll look into it as a low priority thing.

In the Firefox SALR, is there an option to get the bottom-right page navigator and mouse gestures on the thread list as well? It works great inside a thread, but I got used to jumping between subforums using SALR in chrome and I miss it.

Working for me, which means some option or another is breaking it. If you have " Highlight thread counts in yellow if you've posted there before" enabled, try disabling that one as it's likely to break things in Firefox at the moment.

No problem. The setting I mentioned is on the to-do list to fix; the short version is that SALR Chrome used WebSQL to manage posted-in-thread history, but WebSQL isn't supported on Firefox.

All of my installed Firefox extensions' browser action button popups seem to open to the left like that unless it would go offscreen, in which case they open to the right. I took a quick look through the browser_action and related Popups developer documentation but I don't immediately see a way to specify that direction. I'm not sure if that's something we can control, so I've askied some mozilla IRC folks. I'll reply again if I get a positive response from them.

e: Their response was that it's controlled by the browser based on available screen space and not something we can configure with SALR.

Master_Odin changed it to use SAARS (https://www.muddledmuse.com/saars/?goon=USERNAMEHERE) some time ago, but that might not be available in the current Chrome release.

I was going to write a whole post about how SAARS was just for the previous generation of avatar URLs but I guess it just doesn't work at all now for some reason.

I keep meaning to write a replacement actually but I have been for months so certainly don't hold your breath if there's anything else.

The short version is the way they attach the input-checking event conflicts with the way SALR implements its "Adjust window position after threads load" option. I haven't looked into whether there's a special reason SALR Redux has implemented it in that way, but I will suggest the forums make use of e.g. jquery or at least attach an event listener instead of setting window.onload directly.

As a short term work around disabling the adjust on load option fixes it. :grovertoot:

Seems to work for me - please post your SALR Redux + Firefox version#s.

Are kbnav/gestures working fine if you don't hit the back button? Are the affected pages ones that were open from a previous browser session, or does it also happen with freshly-opened forum pages?
