crashes trying to find favicon #611

Open samtoll opened 10 years ago

samtoll commented 10 years ago

I installed this plugin and on the first use it drew a bunch of points and at the time when it seemed like it would stop and show me who the trackers are, it shuts down to a 404 screen saying URL/favicon not found. Sometimes it's an apache server and sometimes it's a google server. screen shot 2014-09-13 at 7 29 35 am screen shot 2014-09-13 at 7 30 01 am

I haven't been able to reproduce this.

@samtoll have you seen this in a recent version of Lightbeam (say 1.2.1)?

I was able to fix this by re installing. When it tried to load it's own favicon instead Ittried to load every favicon of each site it was tracking then it exited...

Thanks for checking!

A coworker of mine has this same issue. After I gave her a demonstration of Lightbeam, she immediately installed Firefox and the add-on on her Mac. It worked at first, but now she's getting the 404 errors as well. It's always a Google server.

She's using Firefox 41.0.2 and Lightbeam 1.2.1.1. Reinstalling Lightbeam didn't work; neither did reinstalling Firefox.

Any other ideas on how to solve this?
