Downloading images freezes for Firefox #46

Open JimDeRo opened 4 years ago

JimDeRo commented 4 years ago

When I try to use the extension on my desktop, it has suddenly stopped working. I get the dialog box, downloading X images, but the screen with the "save" button freezes and does not disappear, as it does when I use the extension on my laptop, where it works fine. The download just doesn't happen, and when I click on the screen again, I get a "Download canceled" message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and it worked once, then stopped working again. Any advice?

Have you tried the latest release? The extension used to use the browser memory to temporarily store images that cause issues on low memory devices. The new release uses internal hard disk instead

I have the same issue. The addon stopped working for me with the update from may 28th. How can I downgrade to an older version that was still working fine for me on my PC?

ElCaracho commented 4 years ago

OK, I just found out how to downgrade to version 0.6.9, so everything is working fine again. I just have to deactivate automatic updates for this addon to keep the old version that is working for me.

belaviyo: I have tried the latest release. And memory is not a problem; I'm on a desktop Mac with plenty to spare.

If memory is not an issue, you might have a conflicting add-on. Have you tried on a clean profile?

Thank you; the alternate profile works!
