userchrome.js prevent firefox start normally

[orency]

With recent firefox version(138+ may be earlier),used userchrome.js will prevent firefox start normally. The firefox will pop up a message box that shows error 'Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator'. And Not any function provided by userchrome.js works well after I close the message box,it's totally broken. After I delete the userchrome.js and enableuserchrome.js,firefox can start normally again.

config.js (c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\config.js) should be as follows:

config.js (c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\config.js) should be as follows:

With the content you provided,firefox won't pop up error box any more when starting. Howerer ,*.uc.js such as OneClickSearch.uc.js within /profiles folder/chrome/ that still not work. I have done anything i can do refer to https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomJSforFx andhttps://github.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts How can I do now?

[iG8R]

Try the file that is use myself.

config.js.txt

[orency]

Try the file that is use myself.

I have tried the file you provided,but still nothing *.uc.js have effect. Does anything else I forgotten should do?

[iG8R]

Create a new profile with nothing but config.js and its associated files. Then, try using a generic userchrome.js first, and using devtools, examine what the console shows. If everything is okay with it, use your own, also studying the changes in the console.

Thank you for your tutorial. I have found the reasons : Firefox removed XPCOMUtils.defineLazyModuleGetters and converted most jsm to sys.mjs since 120. Just need to change the follow block in OneClickSearch.uc.js can make it work again.

 init: function() {
    ChromeUtils.defineESModuleGetters(this, {
      UrlbarSearchOneOffs: "resource:///modules/UrlbarSearchOneOffs.sys.mjs",
      UrlbarUtils: "resource:///modules/UrlbarUtils.sys.mjs",
    });

maybe someone can push a commit to notify the author?

Good to hear the issue is resolved.
