Wappalyzer: Wappalyzer icon not showing under Firefox Developer Edition 60.0b2 (64-bit)

Created on 13 Mar 2018 · 9Comments · Source: AliasIO/wappalyzer

As per closed issue https://github.com/AliasIO/Wappalyzer/issues/1649.

No extension icon under Firefox Developer Edition 60.0b2 (64-bit). The "browser.tabs.remote.force-disable" setting (as suggested in #1649) doesn't exist so cannot test that suggestion.

It's a 'page action' extension which means it lives in the address bar (in Firefox) and only activates when a page is loaded. It doesn't show an icon unless there are results to display. It should show up on the installation page that loads when the extension is installed.

Can you go to this page https://www.wappalyzer.com/ and copy paste the content of the console of Wappalyzer here ?
(To find the console you need to go to about:debugging and select debug on Wappalyzer)

EDIT : Tested Firefox Developer Edition 60.0b2 (64-bit) and I can not reproduce. Also try to disable other addons maybe

I am also experiencing this but only when looking at sites using localhost; browsing other sites it appears in the Address bar as expected.

using: Win7 - FF:DE v60.0b5

It's working now and may always have been working but I cannot be sure it wasn't due to an update or that I was looking in the wrong area all the time - I expected the icon to show up as a standard extension icon and not as an address field icon. Perhaps this needs to be part of the instructions to avoid such confusions by others (or have the icon display some hint on first use)?

Yes, I realise this now but I started out using the Chrome extension before I started out using the Firefox one, and, under Chrome it's a normal extension (since Chrome doesn't support "page action" extensions) and so I didn't expect the different behaviour, and that may have tripped me up. My suggestion is to highlight this difference and fix the screenshot under the Firefox extension page that is old and shows a standard standard extensions, i.e., update this image: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/previews/full/125/125386.png?modified=1489037659 shown at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wappalyzer/#&gid=1&pid=1.

@AliasIO What do you think about always displaying a shadowed version of the W. icon if nothing is detected ? It would avoid confusion.

Yeah, we can do that.

In the next update the default icon will be shown when no technologies are identified, with a message in the popup.
