Does not work in a profile #6

Closed gary-host-laptop closed 2 years ago

gary-host-laptop commented 3 years ago

I have two profiles on Firefox, I installed the extension in my main profile called "Profile 01", I installed the connector dowbloading here, also. Then I launched the "Profile 02" and installed the extension.

When I have only the Profile 02 active and I try to open Profile 01 through the extension it does nothing.

@LongJohn-Silver, this issues sound like an issue I opened on the firefox-profile-switcher-connector repo. What platform are you using?

gary-host-laptop commented 3 years ago

@MattHardcastle I am using a fork of Ubuntu, so I guess it is a OS independent bug.

null-dev commented 3 years ago

This should be fixed in the latest version of the extension. Make sure to also update the connector if the extension asks you. Please re-open the issue if you come across the bug again.

It's same for me. How can I solve this? I just installed the latest version?

gary-host-laptop commented 3 years ago

@jsdev63 Same, I still have the same bug. @null-dev

null-dev commented 3 years ago

@LongJohn-Silver Alright, I've released another version along with another connector to attempt to solve this issue. Please also try the new "Window focus workaround" setting and see if that fixes the issue.

If nothing works, can you perform the following?

  1. Run this command: touch ~/.local/share/firefoxprofileswitcher/DEBUG and then restarting your browser? This will enable debug logging for the extension.
  2. Try launching "Profile 01" from "Profile 02" again.
  3. Send me the log found here: ~/.local/share/firefoxprofileswitcher/log.txt. You can do this by dragging and dropping the log file into the comment editor window.

@null-dev, still not working, also, I don't know if this is related to FFProfileSwitcher or what, but I install the .deb using Eddy and it is the only application so far that when I open it with it, it tells me to downgrade instead of to update. Mentioning just in case, here's the log: log.txt

Actually, I can now reproduce this occasionally too. I think it's because the method the program uses to talk between open browser profiles is unreliable. Unfortunately it seems it's going to be a pain to fix, but I'll keep looking. I'll also have a look into the issue with the .deb file

gary-host-laptop commented 3 years ago

Sorry, the .deb issue was related to Eddy, not your project.

null-dev commented 2 years ago

I've pushed out a new update that attempts to fix this, if it's still happening, please let me know!
