Current configuration is consistent with the settings view.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create new profile, install TC
  2. Open TC settings
  3. Check automatic mode
  4. Close TC settings
  5. Open new tab → automatic mode works
  6. Open TC settings

Unfortunately can't reproduce. Could you check the Developer Tools console (Ctrl+Shift+I) and see if it logs any errors on the preference page?

c7hm4r commented 4 years ago

In a newly created profile that I used to check the reproduction steps, I had a settings tab open, and I saw a message about some problems with fonts in the error console. Unfortunately, I reloaded the tabs and I am not able to reproduce this error message anymore. Except that, there were and are no error messages. The problem with the settings view is still present, though.

That's interesting. The preferences page loads the storage directly using the Firefox API, and if it would fail to do so, there would be an error (both in the UI and the console). So it seems that for some reason the storage isn't actually persisted. If you restart the profile (close the window running the profile and launch it again) is the Automatic Mode still active?

c7hm4r commented 4 years ago

No, it’s not active after profile restart.

In this case I would need a debug log. ("Reproducing the issue" in this case is just ticking the checkbox after opening the preferences page)

The debug log: temporary_containers.log

c7hm4r commented 4 years ago 
ConstraintError: A mutation operation in the transaction failed because a constraint was not satisfied. ExtensionStorageIDB.jsm:812

was colored red.

This could be a Fedora issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1779570

Yep, looks like the Fedora FF71 binary is broken. Might want to downgrade or something. :)

I cannot reproduce this with the upstream Firefox 71.0.
