[Bug] Websites randomly hang indefinitely

Open chillenzer opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi,

Thanks for the great work! The add-on is an amazing feature that I really don't want to live without anymore!

Problem is: I have to, currently. Since the last Firefox update (104.0.2 -> 105.0.3), I run into trouble with websites not fully loading at random. I don't see any pattern as to which websites are broken but if they are the following happens:

  1. Activate plugin and restart Firefox.
  2. Go to some website, e.g. https://tagesschau.de.
  3. Website will not at all or only partially show on the screen.
  4. Firefox reports (in the lower left) "Read ", e.g. "Read www.tagesschau.de" in the example but can also be some CDN or static resource in other cases.
  5. Firefox will indefinitely indicate that it is loading the website (showing the "Stop loading the website" X instead of the reload button etc.)
  6. More of the website is sometimes revealed (in lucky cases up to a kind of usable state) when pressing Enter in the address bar (thereby reloading and dumping everything loaded by then to the screen, I guess)
  7. Deactivate plugin and restart Firefox.
  8. Everything works fine and a simple website as above is immediately done loading.

I have disabled every other add-on, so I'm afraid yours is the culprit but I'm not exactly sure that it was caused by the update. After running into trouble on one of my machines, I postponed the update on the other one and everything still works fine. But I tried to run a separately downloaded [email protected] with my current profile and that didn't change anything. If you need any further info to reproduce, please feel free to ask.

Really appreciate your efforts!

Best, Julian
