Firefox Quantam Compatibility

tramsey · ‎10-10-2017

Firefox Quantam is set to release on Nov. 14 - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/

The current plugin for running actions is not compatible - https://www.lansweeper.com/kb/11/firefoxplugin.html

Are there plans for compatibility? I haven't found anything on this, but am new to the forums, so I may have missed it.

Update regarding this topic.

Currently, the Lansweeper plugin supports up to version 57 of Firefox. Please note that the plugin does not support experimental builds of browsers like Firefox nightly.

However, we did find a possible solution which might make your actions work again. A registry entry ordinarily created by the installer needs to be manually created:

Copy-paste the text below into Notepad and save the file as filename.reg
Run the newly created .reg file.
Restart Firefox

The path below is the default installation path for firefox. Please double check if it is correct for you specific installation. The plugin will only work if this file path is correct.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\com.lansweeper.lansweepershellexecFF]
@="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions\Lansweeper\com.lansweeper.lansweepershellexecFF.json"

If you are still experiencing issues I still recommend contacting our support team for troubleshooting after reading this topic.

The new extension doesn't seem to be working for me, clicking any action silently fails. Any suggestions?

We are aware of the upcoming changes to Firefox. In the current Lansweeper version our Firefox extension is fully functional in the latest Firefox production release version 56. Our developers are aware of the webextensions format for Firefox version 57. We do hope to have a functional webextensions format Lansweeper extension by the time version 57 is publicly released. However, we can't guarantee a date at which this will be released.

When we update our Firefox plugin it will be listed in our change log, which can be consulted here: https://www.lansweeper.com/changelog.aspx
