Pentadactyl on FF39

Hi,

I just got auto-updated to FF39, and my version of Pentadactyl was disabled as it was limited to FF38.

The nigthlies for Sourceforge (http://5digits.org/nightly/pentadactyl-latest.xpi) are currently unavailable because Sourceforge is down, so I cloned the source and after some faffing managed to build the XPI (building on Windows is not altogether straightforward, though through no fault of Pentadactyl).

However, when I then load the extension into FF nothing seems to happen - no errors, but also no keybindings, the top menu is still there, it's as if the extension wasn't installed at all.

Is this a known issue or is it just me? If the latter, any suggestions on what I could do to debug (or where I could get a pre-compiled XPI that is known to work with FF39)?

Thanks,
Nick

I have a similar problems... on FreeBSD 10.1 STABLE with Firefox and pentadactyl both built from source.

Firefox-esr may still work; but I haven't tried yet.

I do have keybindings but no tab completion at all. Some of the error messages I get:

/home/x/.pentadactylrc:13: E518: Unknown option: altwildmode

/home/x/.pentadactylrc:14: E518: Unknown option: autocomplete

/home/x/.pentadactylrc:15: E518: Unknown option: wildmode

I am getting the same (ubuntu 14.04, firefox 39 from ubuntu main, fresh ff profile with no other add-on installed and with ubuntu's default ones disabled). I am building the XPI from the master branch at github. If I launch ff from a console, I get the following (but the files seem to be there ??):

It's not quite what you're asking for, but
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkcompatibility/
works for me to ignore compatibility.

Latest compile of pentadactyl still works great with Firefox compiled from firefox-esr in FreeBSD' s latest ports. I'm running FreeBSD-stable btw.

Firefox ESR is currently FF38, which is probably why :-) (It was working fine for me on FF38, but stopped working on FF39).

fwiw Vimperator works fine, and looks much better than last time I tried it (though that was probably 3-4 years ago!)
