However, there is that bug in Fx24x so that if anything is there it gets it.it doesn't just notify you. The ESR list serv has announcement about Fx 31.2.0 having been released Tuesday but nothing about already receiving it via internal update.
Nonetheless, I am a bit distracted so may just leave this Fx update for now. A weather plane from the mainland is expected here later today to fly over it and another plane on Wednesday from the Mainland so maybe with more information we will find it is not going to hit Hawaii. Ana is expected to reach hurricane status today and currently predicted to hit Honolulu Sunday at 2PM. I just got back from a midnight foray to get bottled water and toilet tissue A lot of stores are already out of water and tt on Oahu and no water at Target tonight but a local grocery had some.
Upgrade to PM 25 screwed me on some modification and I had to do them again. Anyhow, maybe the corruption is worse now and so somehow I didn't get 24.8.1 actually installed? Anyhow, maybe I should abandon the profile and start fresh.but I have so many about:config modifications I am leery of doing that. at least that is what about:Fx says.but then how did I get the default theme (that I am not using) updated to 24.8.1 if the browser is still at 24.8.0? I've had some mild corruption in the profile for ages now.I don't have visible problems except that the troubleshooting page the bottom part is blank where it should show important user modifications. I thought I had 24.8.1 but I have 24.8.0. The highest Portable edition of FF 24.x ESR seems to be 24.7.0, still available at the link in my OP, a few lines down on its page.
Not completely sure about your theme issue and how to handle that, but you COULD do an separate install of FF 24.x ESR in PORTABLE edition, put whatever theme you wish into it, and then test how the 31.x ESR update applies itself, without hurting your main install yet. The PM install is smaller from not having to add the code-bloat which is Australis in the first place, then not having to add more code which is CTR to undo it.Īlso, the PM 'Searchable thumbnails' screen is a move of genius, and I don't think that ANYONE else offers THAT. There are things which I prefer about PaleMoon too.
I also prefer better the dialogue of FireFox as of version 30 or 31, regarding how manual updates are administrated, compared to PaleMoon's current way.
Plus, the FTP server shows no further 24.x series, just 31.2.0 is there too.Īlong with PM & SM, I have been testing Australis since FF 29 along with CTR, and as much as I object to the principle of the arbitrary bullshit being forced down our collective throats by Mozilla switching FireFox to Australis, I must admit that CTR does a bang-up job of fixing all of that, and what's more, we get to choose which elements of Australis to abandon or keep, such as hanging onto the 'Movable Bookmark Star'. ons/all/, there is only 31.2.0 available and no more 24.x series.I just checked and we are part way there already. I have Pale Moon as default now and don't plan to change that, but I still plan to upgrade Fx and see for myself how it works with the CTR extension to bring back the classic interface. Seems nutty to me.is there a 24.8.1? The default theme says it is 24.8.1 but I have Fx 24.8.0 ESR. I wonder if I can download the Australis version of the theme, but not complete the install by rebooting, but instead push the internal update button? Would that mean that Mozilla would accept the theme (when it checks the compatibility of my extensions and themes) and it would update to Fx 31.2 ESR and the newer version of the theme? It would be a lot easier to deal with Australis in the beginning, I think, using MY theme instead of the default which is not even available on Fx 24.8 ESR.don't know why but Addons says the default theme is incompatible with 24.8.0 and it is disabled.
I'm wondering if I can somehow update my full theme just before I push the internal update button? I have to use an OLDER version of my theme currently as the latest version is designed for Australis versions. I have not checked email yet today but as of yesterday there was no announcement. It will be announced in the ESR listserve. I think that doesn't happen for about two more weeks. It will be pushed internally the day (or day after) Fx 24x ESR goes EOL.
