Breaks Facebook chat #43

Open AllanLRH opened 6 years ago

Prevents Facebook chat from opening chat windows. It's able to "open the window without opening it", in the sense that I can open the chat window, disable FireDrag, restart Firefox, load Facebook and see the chat window that I tried to open.

Confirmed. I've noticed for a long time that Facebook Chat wouldn't open in Firefox, but worked fine in Chrome and IE. Didn't try very hard to solve it, it bugged me but it's easy enough to open Chrome, so I just kind of put up with it. Then I did a clean install of Windows 10 (for other unrelated reasons), and noticed I still had the same problem even after that, which led me to try Firefox without addons, and that solved the problem.

So now having just gone through all my addons one by one, I can confirm: Facebook Chat works fine with this addon disabled, and it's broken with this addon enabled. If I attempt to open a chat window with the addon enabled, the window does not open at all, but then if I restart with the addon disabled and open Facebook again then the chat window I previously tried to open will already be there.

There are also other intermittent Facebook rendering issues, like opening a post from notifications and finding all the comments and the comment box disappeared, which seem to be related as well. Overall, I have found Facebook to be basically broken and unusable under Firefox, and it turns out all I have to do is disable this addon and Facebook immediately works properly.
