Just curious! What does umatrix do for FF?
Most important to me is it is a simple way to eliminate the "talking heads" on Fox News, etc. I just want to read the text I select, otherwise I might watch TV.

I've never used that extension but would the reading view accomplish the same thing?

I don't understand your suggestion, butI'm sure there are a number of ways to do this, the umatrix addon is [for me] the best I've tried so far. I don't have to mute the audio or suffer the distraction of a video clip playing while I read.
I had been using it and suddenly it stopped working after a daily Fedora 25 update, Firefox had been replaced with Firefox50. It could be incompatible but that's not the error message I saw.
My question is why has Mozilla decided not to allow it? In the past it has said an addon is not compatible with a new version, however in this case it just says Firefox will not install it implying something else ...

Most likely it's not signed. Where did you get it from?

I believe it was from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/

That looks like a nice addon, I'll probably add it shortly. :-)
If you got it from there, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. I don't have FF50 yet so I can't test it myself. There are no open issues about that either.
Was there any more info in the error message?

Sorry but that's all I have for now. I'll try FF05 again when I have time but for the moment I will just "# dnf upgrade --exclude=firefox" since FF49 works.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob, do you have any sites to try the plugin with? I just installed it in Fedora 24 in FF53.0a1 and it installed successfully and appears to be enabled, but I'm not sure how/where to use it. Incidentally, this version of Firefox has NPAPI Plugin support disabled as from FF52 non-ESR Mozilla no longer support NPAPI plugins and they are saying all NPAPI plugins will need to be changed to be compatible with FF.
regards, Steve

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my previous mail that for the time being Mozilla are still supporting the NPAPI Flash plugin, but given that Flash seems to be dying in favour of HTML 5, its probably debatable how long that support will last.

Unfortunately it's not dying nearly quick enough, to the point where Adobe is actually working on a new release for Linux. There are still major sites using it, like Rosetta Stone. I had to deal with that at a school I work with.

Umatrix is working as it should now in Firefox 50.0.2
I use it to reduce the clutter with sites such as: http://www.foxnews.com/
I have an icon I can click on for a menu permitting me to disable it if it blocks something I need to access.
Not having flash is a problem in printing crossword puzzles, always in demand here ...
