version 2.5.0 - jsonview not displaying #209

Closed rbro closed 10 months ago

rbro commented 10 months ago

After updating to JSONView 2.5.0, I'm not able to view json files using JSONView. The json files are instead rendered using Firefox's default jsonviewer. Did something change in the new version to cause this?

Thanks for your help.

Nothing has specifically changed about that, you still have to disable Firefox's built in JSON viewer to use JSONView.

Thanks, that fixed it. Interesting, I've used JSONView for many years and never had to disable it before. My application is sending the application/json content-type. Either way, thanks for your quick help and response.

If it's useful, I just tried a fresh install of Firefox with JSONView 2.4.3. I was able to go to https://jsonview.com/example.json and the json rendered through JSONView. I then upgraded to JSONView 2.5.0 and https://jsonview.com/example.json now rendered with the native Firefox viewer. Setting "devtools.jsonview.enabled = false" gets around it, but I didn't need to do that in version 2.4.3 and earlier.

Interesting, I'll take a look. I thought you always had to change it but I don't really use Firefox other than whenever I update JSONView.

I've uploaded a new version to AMO that should fix this. It'll break if Mozilla ever requires Manifest V3...

Thanks for the quick update. I'll start updating my machines to disable the native viewer if they ever remove Manifest V2 one day.
