Extension appears to be broken in 63.0.1 #37

Closed TheJRC closed 6 years ago

Undo Close Tab is completely nonfunctional as of a new Firefox update (63.0.1) that I automatically got this morning. Left-clicking on the toolbar icon does nothing at all, and right-clicking brings up the general "Manage Extension" menu from right-clicking on pretty much any extension. Any idea what may have happened?

Works for me in 63.0.1 (32-bit)

Dangit. I don't like it when I'm the only one with the issue.

My version is 64-bit, I suppose I should mention. I've tried a few things to get it to work and nothing doing so far.

I also can't reproduce your issue (63.0.1, 64bit, Linux). Seems like a profile related issue to me. This actually is a long-standing issue with Firefox, that profiles can get corrupt in some situations. This was an issue with "legacy" addons (XUL, XPCOM) and seems to be still an issue with the new WebExtensions based addons. So please get a backup copy of your profile and try to start over with a fresh one.

Damnit... I've had another issue for a while with a different extension entirely (Tab Session Manager) that kinda has a workaround. It does tell me to delete "IndexDB" though for whatever reason. Not sure if that would help at all Undo Close Tab, but even so.

Any recommendations for a good way to profile backup? I remember regularly saving profile backups with old extensions that are no longer compatible with Firefox after it upgraded to WebExtension framework. I haven't really looked into it since then.

Maybe this helps to locate your profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile

Alright, I'll look into it tomorrow. Would hate to lose a lot of my data due to profile refresh. Thanks for your help.

Closing now. Please reopen if you still have problems or feel free to contact me via mail.

I'm having this same problem. I tried removing browser-extension-data folder from profile folder but no luck. Refreshing profile works but I wouldn't like to have to set up everything all over again.

I can't do much about this, but if you find out which file/folder you have to delete to get things working, please tell me.
