I am having trouble installing Tab Groups Manager 1.01 from the Basilisk Add-ons Site. It won't install because, it says, it is not compatible with "Silver 59."  I opened the install.rdf, and I bumped up the installation number, saved the new XPI file. When I tried to install this modified extension, it resulted in an error message that the file appeared to be corrupt

If anyone can tell me what is going on, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

Pale Moon team is abandoning Basilisk, what Silver is based on.... were you or anyone interested in taking it over? They are even offering up the domain and Basilisk branding.

I was considering offering, but I suspect I am on their list of people that they wouldn't accept the offer from.

Update: The noob.software site seems to be gone as well as the github repository... anyone know what happened?

Well, I'll reach out, I suppose, but I am a bit hesitant. Plus I told him when he banned me from his forum that he would never hear from me again unless he contacted me... but I guess this is for a good cause to break that vow.

I contacted Moonchild and he said you are not on his blacklist; he's open to all serious offers. So if you're still interested feel free to make an offer to him.

I reached out to him and he rejected my offer, as expected. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I suppose.

Not sure of Moonchild will ever read this but, since we are back to the status quo of not contacting each other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_case_(law)

He said something in his last message akin to, "You never take someone to court to test a theory."

Quite frankly that is just a crazy thing to say, it happens all the time.

I'm sorry everything fell through. I guess I expected Moonchild to be more reasonable since he finally stopped letting Tobin dictate the whole show. Also I was unaware of all the legal mumbo-jumbo he's demanding.

He is also charging for it, and when I made an offer he said he wasn't negotiating it. Then changed his mind about accepting an offer from me because I didn't apologize for defending other fork creators.

The legal bit is regarding me suggesting (in the past) we could go to court to find out who is right about the MPL.

I just looked at the conversation on the Pale Moon forums regarding this:

"I'm not sure why you think this would be any different than someone e.g. buying a house or car or dog or anything, really.
It's not "mumbo-jumbo" and exchanging personal information is required for any transfer of property.
If he'd be sincerely interested then these would not be roadblocks, at all. I even offered an alternative if money was a problem but that wasn't even taken into consideration."

To correct several things in this statement by Moonchild...

1) I would be happy to give my personal information once we had a verbal agreement on the terms.
2) I did not put any roadblocks, I just thought what he was asking for the domain and branding was too much.
3) He did not offer any alternative that I could see.

Since we are still not communicating, if you don't mind... ask him if I can post our email conversation here verbatim.
