Hello again mental!
Somewhat regularly I _manually_ update the scripts on this legacy browser (see first post); I went to update W.A.R. from 1.7.1.7 to newest -- and the script no longer runs: the scanning panel doesn't show on pages, and the script no longer appears in the Greasemonkey menu on those pages where the script should be working.
I did several homeworks and this is what I found:
v1.7.1.9 introduces a fix for something for filefactory; this entire function, when removed, allows the script to work.
I'm no developer but I did some more homework: I confirmed via `https://caniuse.com/?search=` that the following ARE supported in this Firefox version - so I don't _think_ these are causing the problem:
'use strict'
onload
DOMParser
onerror
I also scanned all the userscripts currently used/active in this browser for these same four features, and some of those scripts do use them, so again I don't think those are the issue.
That's the end of my programming troubleshooting skills; I have no other idea what could be causing the problem. Perhaps you can spot the cause.
Let me restate what I first posted:-- I nor no one expects you to hold back the development of the script for legacy browsers. We DO hope you can tell us how to maintain its features thru manual edits, if possible. (I'll inform other legacy users on other communities, usually on msfn.org). If not, then at least we'll know to lock the version to the last workable one, and prevent future updates.
So if you find the solution, YAY! If not, then so be it.
Either way, we always much appreciate your work on developing and maintaining the script.
