[Ext] MR Tech's Local Install 5.0.4.1 (6-3-06)

[Old Makondo]

Thanks, XerBlade (about:functions) - i thought i was misreading something.
Now, does anybody know how to hide some of those about: from showing? I use Menu Editor but all 'abouts' show as one there. Wonder if a css code for hiding menus would work. TIA!

[XerBlade]

about:config > id=AboutConfig
about:plugins > id=AboutPlugins

And so on. They all follow that same convention.

So, in either userChome.css (below the Namespace) or Stylish (XUL NS added to the beginning):

Code: Select all

menuitem[id="AboutConfig"], menuitem[id="AboutPlugins"] {
   display:none !important;
}

That should take care of it, just changing the id to match which items to wish to remove.

P.S. The items in the Help > About:? menu and the about:config/plugins toolbar context menus share the same ids, so this method will remove the indicated items from all three.

Thanks, XerBlade, i had the code handy, wasn't sure it will work for submenus, - it does. Thanks for your time!

What version are you using?
What it is saying is that "the error is on line 18 of "xpinstall.js""

If we look at line 18 we find this:

Code: Select all

Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"]

So in other words "@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1" is an invalid Id

That’s what I gather
EDIT: After a google I found out that @mozilla.org/network/io-service is valid

For some reason I can't get "Overwrite 'maxVersion" compatibility checking" to work any longer when installing extensions.

Anyone else?

Confirmed: Not working for me either. Tried several archived extensions and Override 'maxVersion" compatibility checking has no effect. Click the button and nothing happens. No notification, no install......nothing.

EDIT-
Tried in clean test profile with only MR Tech Local Install 5.0 installed. Tried to install several extensions using Override 'maxVersion" compatibility checking. Same result.

mrtech,

My MTLI CSS mods for the Add-ons Manager and My Config in the sidebar

makes it so there is no horizontal scrollbar needed in the Addons Manager and things don't get cut off in My Config.

I'll review this and see if I can merge the changes in, thanks.

Looks like the override component isn't registering properly, try uninstalling MTLI, restart the browser and then reinstall.

Thanks for update, Mel! Minor issues:
1. moving button bar in EM still doesn't work for me (Rounded Brushed, will test a clean profile).
2. When i checked 'Remove My Config dropmaker' - it didn't apply, had to restart Fx, worked then. Thanks a lot for the option!

ah good catch, #1 I was already working on, but #2 was part of the preferences optimization I put in to ignore myconfig preference changes when listening for other gui changes, just added a rule to exclude that preference from my optimization so the dropdown option now works instantly, thanks.

additionally try this:
- open your profile directory
- closing the browser
- delete these files: compreg.dat and xpti.dat
- restart

I just finished up putting in the fix for the commandbar, tested on about 15 themes with 1.5 and doing some testing with 2.0 now can anyone say 5.0.1 tonight?
