@lazierthanthou are there plans to update this for compatibility with ff quantum? Sure hope so. Thanks.

@debpaul This has already been answered in #75, though it's a bit of a read. The short answer is that it's super unlikely. 🤕

The only plugin I use in Firefox and that crumby browser kills it.

Update the plugin please, I have no other option to use a graphical interface to SQLite

[justinclift]

@aGaTHoS There's no chance this plugin will be updated. You're going to need to figure out a different SQLite solution, or somehow keep an installation of older Firefox around with this plugin in it, just for this purpose. Maybe in a virtual machine or something?

@aGaTHoS It looks like you're using Void Linux, so maybe this?

@justinclift I have seen all solutions available I think, at least in the past , and no one fits my desktop, I don't use qt5 libraries don't want them installed

If people statically link libraries more I could find an "app" for this, even if uses libraries I don't want installed in my system as qt5 or wxwidgets and the like, don't want a bloated system just for one or two programs

this plugin was really cool, why are you so sure there is no chance on the author keep updating it?

in fact I'm realizing I already have such "app" : SQLiteStudio which I just have it "installed" in an app dir in my home and run from there

because when I say app I mean that there is no package for my distro and even use to be python or perl or java aplications which are very self-contained and you just have to unpack the zip in folder an run from there without a traditional installation

so finally I have my problem solved but still this plugin was preferable for me

[justinclift]

why are you so sure there is no chance on the author keep updating it?

Two main reasons. 😉

1. The plugin relied on some functions in Firefox, which Firefox completely removed a few versions back and didn't provide any replacement for.
2. Looking at the development history (here}, it seems to have only barely been touched for several years.

For small fixes, it might be possible to do something, but due to the major Firefox changes (point 1), there may not be a solution at all. Anyway, anything needed to fix it is likely pretty major, which the history shows hasn't happened in years. So... no chance.
