Owl Ignoring Settings After ff 58 upgrade #41

Open Alan-Solitar opened 6 years ago

Alan-Solitar commented 6 years ago

After upgrading to firefox 58, it seems that owl is ignoring the settings for which sites I have enabled the classic theme and for which sites I have disabled owl. Looking at my settings, the settings page for owl in fact indicates that owl is disabled on page "x", but when I go to page "x" owl will not be disabled. Same thing happens for the classic theme settings. Sometimes if I refresh the page a few times it will properly apply the owl setting, but the next time I go to the website it will often ignore the settings again.

I am not sure why this is happening. Perhaps firefox 58 changed something in the web extensions api?

I really enjoy this extension and would like to see it return to how things were before firefox 58. Please let me know if you need any information from me to help debug this issue. Thank you.

my enviornment: -Firefox 58.0.2 -Windows 10

I am also having this issue but for me owl just stopped working completely :( No website colors are changed to dark.

This is my environment:

@Alan-Solitar @carocad Hi. I too have observed this personally, but very rarely. Right now I am unable to find a website where Owl fails to load (it appears very random). Is there a website where you can consistently reproduce this bug? That would be a great help

@CptFoobar On facebook it seems to happen pretty consistently.

@CptFoobar I just tried this on my Mac and Owl seems to work without much trouble here. Though after @Alan-Solitar comment I checked facebook and Owl does make everything dark but the website doesnt work properly as the different sections of it seem to move around on their own constantly.

This behavior is on a

Hope it helps :)

EDIT: I just checked on another computer of mine and Owl is working again ...
