Firefox 48.0.2 disables ImageHost Grabber

[MOW]

Could anybody suggest a Firefox version that would run on Vista? I have a laptop that is running Vista & my last Firefox { 47?}, got corrupted or Firefox just said we ain't running on Vista anymore & fucked me. I got a message when I tried to download the latest version - "we ain't running on Vista"; so-to speak. Thanks

(Google Chrome runs on my Vista, but has slowed down & freezes up the laptop frequently.)

Sometimes third party updates come a few days after firefox releases a new update.

Look in the 2007s I would guess:

The newest version should work on Vista. See if this applies to your situation: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...ndows-xp-vista

Latest update of this Firefox clone

IHG works fine

Yes, firefox 48.0 blocks ihg. even modifying the About:config file.
I am talking about the latest IHB at http://hot-honeys.com/index.php?topic=3210.0 which does not work.
The last firefox version which still allows ihg to work is firefox version 47.0.02. Dont forget to go to the about:config editor in firefox and change that setting to false ie:
xpinstall.signatures.required;---> change it to false by double clicking

here is a link to the 47.0 version US-en
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/...0/win32/en-US/

Upgrading to version 47.0.02 works with IHG as I have it now, however, not from 48.0 onward.
This works for me on my machine, PC windows 7. Hope that helps some of you that cant get 48 or later working. Version 50 definitely does not work.
So it's best to use firefox for IHG downloads, and perhaps chrome or opera or something else for banking etc, due to firefox 47 being more susceptible to viruses etc.

Its hardly a surprise the latest isnt working given their still offering the much earlier version
1.6.5.5. on their site

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ehost-grabber/

I do wonder how great the differences are between the above
and the developers latest version

I use the earlier version occasionally with the latest ff and havent had any issues


Playing devils advocate - using an earlier version of any browser could be a risky thing
looking at how many vulnerabilities are fixed from one version to the next

I have it working in firefox version 50.1.0, the below will allow the install of IHG and any other script that mozilla has blocked.

If you are still using the old version from the mozilla add-ons site remove it or disable it.
The developers moved it to here

http://hot-honeys.com/index.php?topic=3210.0]IHG 1.7.0.4a Released

If you want to use the outdated version from the mozilla add-on site the below will probably work on the old version also but it will not have all the updated hosts that the new version has.

first do this.
1. 1. in the address bar type about:config
2. in the search bar enter xpinstall.signatures.required
3. change the value to false by double clicking on it.
4. restart your browser

then do this this...
source.

http://www.ghacks.net/2016/08/14/override-firefox-add-on-signing-requirement/

simply move the 2 file to the folders listed below.
you can download the files from my site if you don't want to make your own.

http://www.usa.x10host.com/mybb/script/files.rar

config.js
Move the config.js file in the Firefox installation folder.
On Windows, this is either...
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\.


config-prefs.js
Move the file into the defaults\pref folder of the Firefox program folder.
On Windows, this is either...
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref

Restart your browser, goto

and install IHG

If imagetwist Does not work you will need to update it manually.

1. right click anywhere in your browser window, select imagehost grabber, then host file editor


2. maximize the host file editor window


3. click the select host drop down window


4. click on imagetwist


5. select all the code and delete it


6. paste in the new code and save changes


If the code is not what i shown below copy & paste the new code in.

new code

the URL Patern should be

^http:\/\/(?:www\.)?imagetwist\.com\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\/?

The search pattern should be

function(pageData, pageUrl) {
    var iUrl = pageData.match(/src="(.+?)" class="pic.+?" alt="(.+?)"/);
    return iUrl ? {imgUrl: iUrl[1], fileName: iUrl[2], status: "OK"} : {imgUrl: null, status: "ABORT"}
}

7. restart your browser, it should work on imagetwist now.

Note: If IHG updates and imagetwist stops working repeat the steps above. ( Myself, i just dont let it update for now)

Неre words from developers of IHG:

" FireFox is changing: If you're using FF43 or 44 you can make IHG work but from about 45 onwards all add-ons will need signing.
IHG will not be signed.
Firefox will kill IHG soon anyway so it's not worth while getting it signed.

There is a lot of discussion about Firefox and it's change of model elsewhere on the forum (see the archives). The best advice for IHG users is quite simple -

Use Pale Moon for IHG

FireFox and Pale Moon work fine when installed together.
They also work without problems if they're both open at the same time."

Sooner or later, but users of IHG will be forced to leave Firefox. I migrated to Pale Moon (x64) back in september, it works without any problems on Win10 Enterprise LTSB x64.
