iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Older version of iMacro impossible to install

Post by Legalien » Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:58 am

When I go here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... /versions/

I can only install the 9.0.3 version. It won't allow me to install any of the older version due to an "incompatibility" issue.

I tried to find and download the 8.9.7 version, but I can't find anywhere online to download it.

How can I install the 8.9.7 version?

Thanks

Ah...!, that's better...! :D
Sorry, but I don't answer Threads when FCI is not mentioned, "... not compatible with your Version of Firefox..." is not good enough...

But OK, FF v55.0.3, perfect..., and good news, iMacros for FF v8.9.7 indeed still works on this FF Version (I run some Test Env. with this very same FCI, except OS = Win10-x64, but that won't play a Role...), even if the Mozilla Add-ons Gallery and automatic Version Check thinks differently... :wink:

The way to force-install previous Versions of an Add-on on FF is to first download it locally, from the Mozilla Add-ons Gallery or for iMacros from the Version History Wiki Page as well and to drag and drop it onto the Add-ons Manager Tab in FF like you may have already found out from the FCI you mention already in your next Thread...

Be cautious btw with updating FF the coming time if you rely on iMacros, v8.9.7 doesn't seem to work on FF57 (Nightly), it doesn't install properly as the Macros don't get listed in the Side-Panel, and I didn't find a way to play them, v9.0.3 seems to install correctly but again it's impossible to play a Macro, the 'Play' and 'Loop' Buttons do nothing and I didn't find a way either to play a Macro... (from Bookmark, '.BAT' File, etc...)

Download V8.9.7 from http://wiki.imacros.net/iMacros_for_Fir ... on_History


Drag and drop file to Firefox.

If you use iMacro for work, please use Firefox ESR, at least you will be ok until August next year, after that, I don't know what will happen.

Yeah I managed to do it. Thanks.

I suppose if an update comes out on Firefox that breaks iMacros completely, then I'll just downgrade all my Firefox profiles and disable automatic updates. Problem solved.

It's like Wordpress sites where Wordpress and plugins keep updating and breaking shit. Ultimately if you don't know how and don't want to pay someone to keep dealing with it, you just bring everything to a working state with older versions and then disable all future updates and call it a day.

Amen to that.
