Can't get the manifest file

[mhsabbagh]

Hello.

After installing the addon and after downloading the Python script and putting its absolute path in the settings page to get the manifest file, the installer page just keeps loading and never ends.

Tested on Fedora 26 with Nightly 57a1.

Same on elementary OS. 0.4.1 Loki. Also, manually executing the script returns
AttributeError: 'file' object has no attribute 'buffer'

Thanks for getting in touch!
Manually executing the script unfortunately doesn't work; the script relies on getting specific instructions from the add-on.
So what exactly do you both see? Once you've filled in the path, does the native manifest download button stop being greyed out? Does anything happen when you click on it?
Also, you can create the manifest by hand if you like, just fill in the absolute path:

{"name":"hide_title_bar","description":"Hide the Firefox title bar, using GTK","path":"/absolute/path/here.py","type":"stdio","allowed_extensions":["[email protected]"]}

Same Problem here.

Yes the native manifest download button is no longer greyed out.

when I click on the button a new tab is loading but it will never be finished with the loading

Same problem on Fedora 27 with Firefox 57.0b7.

I have been having the same problem as well, on manjaro linux. If you really want the manifest, you can either create one of your own as said above or do as I did. Type in your absolute path, the button should be active by now, inspect your web page; select the button using 'element selector tool'; copy the href; paste it in another url and go

Same problem here with Fedora 27 and Firefox 57:

• Download the script
• chmod +x on the script
• Enter the absolute path to the script
• Press the button to get the manifest

Result: a tab opens, and loads forever :(

what @alfredmaliakal sayed worked, but the title bar is still there after a restart

aha, as mentioned in the comments of the ff addons page, the package "wmctrl" needs to be installed also. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/hide-title-bar/reviews/

after that it works on fedora 26 (korora).

On Firefox 57 and Arch x64 and XFCE, and it still doesn't work for me with the manifest in the right places and wmctrl installed. That is, the title bar is still here.
