if it is not identical to issue #111, please report what is happening here:https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/issues.

TB loads suddenly the addons at a time when it is not ready to receive them yet. That is not a problem of Nostalgy but again something broken due to continous changes in TB.
Please don>'t blame Nostalgy with 1 star when in reality, it is caused by TB changes. It happens only on fast computers - mine is slow, so this did not happen here. We are working on a permanent solution, a workaround is given above.

please see here and report any more errors there: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/issues/111

I think this is a TB issue because it is resolved by deactivating the addon and then reactivating the addon. Actually, just replacing WL 1.45 by WL 1.28 (the TB glue code) makes it working again. An interim version is here: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/releases/tag/v2.3.2. Only works for 78, for 86 and above, a solution is pending.


In both cases, it is the same addon code. Why should it start working after stopping/starting?
What changed is TB version and some TB supplied glue code. Key setting code was not changed.

TB changed how the accelerators are handled (they now grab the S even in folder tree, where you cannot set star). Therefore, I am using V in my TB, which is available in English TB in German locale - that may be different for you).

In 85, it also helped just to reset to S, then overriding the star.
Also, there is a bug in TB: after addon install, it does not show the wrench symbol for options. I need to close the addon tab and reopen it for the wrench to come up.
Please put further info into the issue linked above. Thanks, Klaus

thanks for the comment.
1) I didn't even know that WIN-LeftArrow exists. I will see what can be done.

Issues should go here: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/issues.
New releases are here: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/releases/.

2) Addon settings: which version? Github has 2.2.4 which is also under review. Works here in all versions: Tools->Nostalgy++ (at the bottom of the list), second entry: tools->addon settings->Nostalgy++. Maybe you can report on github version and OS version to see what might be different for you.
3) Dropdown list: no code changes versus earlier version. TB's autocomplete component was changed and is now in a custom element. Don't know what can be done, will check
.And thanks for contributing to the bounty.

There is no change in permissions as compared to before. Addons always had these permissions.

Same for other open source software. Libreoffice, for example, can create/write/delete (settings) files. It has 'full' access to your computer. I am pretty sure they could erase your harddisk (delete all your files) if they truely wanted.

Mozilla is trying to scare people away from the old addon type using strong words. But the new addon type can still hardly do anything near Nostalgy capabilities, we still need the old addon style.

To return some trust, the old addons are reviewed by real persons, not automatic.

I hope that info helps.
