Looks like facebook changed something making it impossible to change settings #68

Currently I'm unable to click on the icon to change settings (it worked correctly in the past). It feels like the button is covered with some invisible layer or something.

I'm able to click on it, only when I'm clicking to reload the page and before it finishes loading.

I also tried to use uBlock to remove that part but that does seem to go nowhere, I think javascript likely places it back or something.

Yes, sometimes part of FB is misbehaving and causes some of their hidden stuff to sit above the fb-cmf button.

A couple of work-around:

1) Click on the userscript manager (Tampermonkey, Violentmoneky, etc) icon and then click on "Settings" beneath the fb-cmf' heading.

Violentmonkey:

2) Relocate fb-cmf's button

As per 1) above to bring up the fb-cmf dialog box
Scroll down to "Customisations" section
And then toggle the option to change button's location.

I can't reproduce the issue at the moment, but it has happened to me a couple of times and do have a fix for it.

The fix will be in the next version (either 4.31 or 5.01)

Top right doesn't work either, the button isn't even visible. I'm using Firemonkey, I'll try Violentmonkey to see if it is problem with it (it did work in the past though).

Ok, it looks like it is working in violent monkey. So I guess it's firemonkey issue, though something changed in FB as I didn't have this problem with this before.

It's happening on violent monkey as well but less, perhaps it is the same issue that you observed.

Could you test the following:

Search for this line: (around 2485)

styles = 'position:fixed; bottom:4.25rem; left:1.1rem; display:none;';

Replace it with this one:

styles = 'position:fixed; bottom:4.25rem; left:1.1rem; display:none; z-index:99;';

If that doesn't work, change the "99" to "999" or "9999".

So far so good.

Since it doesn't happen every time I'll use it for some time. If it happens again I'll let you know.

After adding z-index:99; I have not see this problem for the past 3 days.
