(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Carmelo Leggio]

Attachment: Screenshots.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Iceweasel/18.0
Build ID: 20121228173752

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to use after some time cacheviewer continued but I can't save elements from the cache as I used to do with previous release :-(.
I tried also with similar addons with the same result,both on Windows 7 and on Debian Wheezy.


Actual results:

The windows of cacheviewer doesn't show any entry under the column Mime type,so I'm unable to save anything from the cache.


Expected results:

It should be present the extension under Mime Type so I can filter and select the elements I want to save from the cache :-/

CacheViewer Continued (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer-continued/) is an extension, so it could be broken instead of Firefox itself.

Could you try to test this add-on with a new profile, please?

If the issue is still present with a fresh profile, could you test with an old version of Firefox, like FF17 or FF16 to check if there is a regression?

I already tested and took a screenshot (attached in the zip file), with Firefox 17 under Debian and under Windows 7 and tested also with a new profile and with an other addon CacheViewer Fx6 with the same result :-(.

From https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/cacheviewer-continued/?src=api
08 January 2013: This add-on is not compatible with Firefox 18 (yet). Mozilla removed a key method in their API that this add-on was using to retrieve entries from the cache. Implementing the new method for getting cache entries will not be a trivial matter. I will release an update as soon as I can, but it could be a while.

The developer is still working to fix the problem.
