SOX 2.8.13 DEV: settings (gear) button missing and features inoperative

[AmperAndSand]

Describe the bug Stack Overflow Extras (SOX) user script ceased functioning on 2024-10-17 around 1 PM UTC.

• Missing gear icon (settings button) in the topbar
• Absence of the mod diamond that displays notifications for new questions on a site's meta
• Overall non-functionality of SOX features, e.g., adding the title of the question in the 'Share' link doesn't work.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Visit any SE site, with either Firefox or Brave, and Tampermonkey
2. Observe that the gear (settings) button is absent
3. Verify that none of SOX's functionality is operational

SOX errors logged in console On https://gaming.stackexchange.com/, the following errors were logged in the console of an incognito Brave window with only Tampermonkey enabled and SOX as the sole active script:

Expected behaviour SOX should function normally, with the gear (settings) button visible in the topbar at minimum.

Environment

• SOX version: 2.8.13 DEV
• Platforms:
  1. Brave with Tampermonkey
  2. Firefox with Tampermonkey

Note: The auto-populate version functionality did not appear to work.

Thanks for filing this bug report! I was able to reproduce this in Firefox, but not Chrome/Edge. It seems like possibly the behaviour of fetching the userscript resources at install time has now changed.

I pushed a change in dev v2.8.14 -- please could you try installing this to see if it fixes your issue?

Yes, this fixes the issue for me on Firefox. Thanks for the fix!
