Not working at all in Firefox

[aereaux]

I have the firefox extension installed, and just recently it stopped working at all. Clicking the extension icon does nothing, and going to the fraidycat URL only ens up in a slightly different loading screen than the one that it starts on. If I try going to the extension debug page (although I know very little about debugging extensions), I get a bunch of errors:

Let me know if I can provide any other debugging output.  Restarting firefox does not seem to have helped.  Now that I think about it though, this seems to have happened right after a hard reboot of my computer, so perhaps it's related to that?

This is probably a corrupted database - several users have reported this and I am moving Fraidycat 2 away from the extension as part of this.

To fix the issue, you're going to need to delete the moz-extension+++8c2cd559-f05c-4e82-9bbb-92f0734c8171^userContextId=<NUMBER> directory while the browser is shutdown. If you are on Windows, it would be in the C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<ID>.default-release\storage\default directory. If you're on a different operating system, look here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

Thanks for the quick response. Will doing this lose all my follows, or are they stored elsewhere?

If you have browser sync turned on in Firefox, then when you reinstall the extension it should start re-syncing your follows. If not, then I think they're all gone unless you have a backup on you...

[aereaux]

Thanks. I have a backup, but I might have added a couple follows since. I'll see if my firefox sync works.

And actually, it doesn't look like I have a directory with that name. I see a bunch of moz-extension+++ directories, but none that have 8c2c after that. It looks like the extension might be 16540334-452c-4c6f-a9e0-ece9aea7018f instead? I do have that directory.

Edit: That did it, it's now working and it looks like I got all my feeds back through firefox sync. Thanks!
