Firefox 56 add-on compatibility changes break CopperCu add-on #29
Comments
With Firefox 57 (Due Nov 14th) this will need to be a WebExtension |
WebExtension do not allow for custom protocol handlers. In some sense, Mozilla killed Copper. Also see https://bug1234567.bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1271553 |
One escape for Copper users would be getting Firefox 52 ESR. I am using this firefox ESR version for now, because Copper is too valuable when developing CoAP applications. Hope there is going to be a durable solution in time. |
The mozilla ESR page now offers Firefox 60, alas. Maybe the older one is available somewhere I couldn't see. % sudo apt-get install firefox-esr Not the best solution, but it still works. |
When upgrading to Firefox 56, the CopperCu add-on stops working. See Firefox 56 add-on compatibility changes: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/07/18/compatibility-firefox-56/
