Initializing failed in Firefox 77.0 #414

Closed quample closed 4 years ago

quample commented 4 years ago

Just updated Firefox (on Win 10 1909) to version 77.0 released on June 2, 2020 and the add-on encountered an error. This also caused errors in the Firefox multi-account container add-on and Firefox Facebook container add-on

the exact output is given below:

Error: An unexpected error occurred

Restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled and then syncing Firefox using the Firefox account reinstalled all add-ons and now every add-on works without any issues.

Same for me. Among these things, gmail tab opened in a container stopped working and just shows a blank page. I don't have a Firefox account and don't plan to get one. Any suggestions how can I fix this without using a Firefox account?

rhymefororange commented 4 years ago

I followed the debug log wiki page and here is my log sample. It is a merge of 2 exports (after Firefox started and after I reloaded the Temporaty Containers add-on. Maybe some messages are not related to this add-on, but still hope this would be useful. console-export.log

Same problem here since the Firefox 77 update, firefox multi-account-containers does not work correctly and temporary containers giving an error and did not load correctly. The problem seems to be in the firefox multi-account-containers add-on and not in the temporary containers add-on.

I added my solution to the firefox multi-account-containers add-on gituhub issues page. https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/1759 Copy/paste my solution:

I solved the problem as it is caused by an about:config setting in Firefox. In my user.js I had the line: user_pref("network.file.disable_unc_paths", true); Delete or comment out this line in the user.js and edit your about:config to delete the preference. Restart your Firefox browser and it should work again.

@gitthehubs Just deleting network.file.disable_unc_paths parameter in about:config seems to fix it. At least it worked for me and Firefox Multi-Account Containers and Temporary Containers are working as previously.

Yeah, seems like disable_unc_paths is the cause. Related issue: https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/923

rikkit commented 4 years ago

I don't have either a user.js or network.file.disable_unc_paths in about:config, and containers doesn't work (shows a blank arrow) - any ideas anyone? Sorry for the support request.

Some other extensions of mine have also broken (LastPass, uBlock, ZenHub) and for some reason twitter.com won't load. I'm going to try a profile refresh later but thought I'd log something here in case it's relevant.

This was an issue on Nightly a couple of months but it was fixed and I've been running with network.file.disable_unc_paths set true since then.

Just tried 77 and everything works as it should until I add the pref and set true. then it's the same issue I had on Nightly.

I believe the milestone is 78.

rhymefororange commented 4 years ago

Since we are on 78 now, I added network.file.disable_unc_paths back in about:config and set it to true. I restarted Firefox and FF Multi Account Containers as well as Temporary Containers are working fine for me. So I think we can close this issue if I didn't miss anything.

Sounds good, thanks for checking
