FoxyProxy Does Not Work With Firefox Nightly about firefox-extension HOT 25 CLOSED

FoxyProxy 7.4 finished and submitted to Mozilla for approval. (Recommend Add-ons require manual review and approval by Mozilla before public release, unlike non-recommended add-ons). I expect that to take 1-3 days.

Thanks, everyone, for your help debugging! This version is solid. I hope you like it.

I will try to post here after it's approved so that you can force Firefox to update instead of waiting for the update to be pushed to you.

from firefox-extension.

Thanks for rushing this release out. It's been working well for me so far and it was delivered to my browser a couple of hours after your comment, so someone at Mozilla was probably paying attention.

Yay! I have worked for Mozilla 3 different times in the past and am on good terms with quite a few people still working there. I hope that helps.

Really appreciate all the years of hard work you've put in to this project;

Thank you for noticing! I started FoxyProxy 13 years, and we will never separate. Just yesterday I uploaded a huge archive of past releases, including 1.0 which was released in April 2006. Now I just have to upload the release notes, too. Maybe it's more appropriate for archive.org.

Anyway, the best way to help is to contribute by donating or purchasing FoxyProxy VPN/proxy service. I don't push that in the software very much because I dont want to alienate people, but it is the reason I can continue to write this software. There are many reasons to choose FoxyProxy VPN/proxy service over competitors, but I dont want to write about that on github. Ping me in email if you're interested (including a discount code).

it's been an indispensable tool for me for a long time.

Thank you so much. This motivates me more than you can ever know.

from firefox-extension.

@mozbhearsum thank you that will be very helpful & I'll update this ticket when version is ready for testing with Nightly.

from firefox-extension.

This is fixed. I've done a lot of testing, but I have no finished all tests. If you'd like to try it:

You will not lose any settings.

1. Download and unzip 7.4 beta
2. Enter about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in the Firefox URL bar
3. Click “Load Temporary Add-on”
4. Navigate to where you unzipped in step 1. Select any file in the src directory

Again, you will not lose any settings.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. This also fixes issue #38.

Helping me to test this is how bugs are prevented! Please help.

Firefox 71 hit the beta aka "Developer" channel yesterday and now the mainline FoxyProxy is totally dead for me. MozWiki is a little behind, but the "99.99% up-to-date" Google Calendar link from that page shows event named DevEd 71.0b1 released @ 100% for 2019-10-15 (yesterday), so presumably this is going to start breaking for a lot more people soon.

I'm about to test the beta build, but if we're confident in these fixes, can we get this pushed to the official channels? @ericjung

EDIT: Working fine for me in Firefox 71b01 64-bit Windows build ID 20191014171118. Thanks!

from firefox-extension.

Hello,

1. Please confirm you have a SOCKS5 srver running on 127.0.0.1:1086 (i am guessing ssh -D ?)
2. What error do you se?
3. What does the FoxyProxy log say?

thank you.

from firefox-extension.

1. yes. running with ssh -CND
2. I do not see any error. I am running ssh debug mode ssh -v too and there is no traffic going through.
3. there is nothing in the log.

My original problem happened on work computer.
I just upgrade firefox and foxyproxy to the latest on my home computer and experiencing the same problem. And foxyproxy was working before the upgrade.

Both running Mac.

BTW, I notice that the foxyproxy icon doesn't change after switching from the proxy to turn off (using firefox setting). It was icon with a red cross in the previous version if I remember correctly. see screenshot.

Hi

It sounds like there is a JavaScript error and I very much need your help to fix this. Do you know how to load an extension in debug mode and view the JavaScript console? If not I can give instructions. It is not difficult. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Also what happens when you turn off FoxyProxy from the options page instead of the toolbar popup? Does the icon change then?

from firefox-extension.

I skimmed this page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Debugging and here are some console errors. Please let me know what else I can do.

Also, When you say turn off FoxyProxy from the options page. Did you mean by choose from the dropdown from the options page? I did that and It has no effect.

The first three errors are triggered when I clicked on the FoxyProx icon from Toolbar.

BTW, I am using Firefox Nightly.

FYI, I tried debug mode for another extension colorzilla which generated the following error like FoxyProxy when clicking icon from Toolbar. The extension is working fine though.

Are you using Firefox Nightly? It is not supported yet. Please let me know.

from firefox-extension.

yes, I am using nightly. I mentioned that 3 messages up.

Well. Why the heck check for update pull the latest FoxyProxy in...

Downgraded to 6.6.2 and works again.

from firefox-extension.

Downgraded to 6.6.2 and works again.

That is strange. 6.6.2 also should not work with Nightly.

from firefox-extension.

FoxyProxy 7.3 does not works on nightly firefox builds.

from firefox-extension.

I can confirm that 'FoxyProxy Standard Version: 7.3' stopped working on Nightly just a day or two ago....
It was working fine until that...
I gave feedback on the Nightly menu as "Sad" option as soon as it stopped, mentioning FoxyProxy stopped working...

from firefox-extension.

I am aware that it does not work with Nightly. I am also aware of how to fix it, but have not finished the work yet. I have not supported Nightly in the past.

from firefox-extension.

I'm hitting this in Nightly as well. I'm happy to help do any testing of any future builds, should that be useful.

from firefox-extension.

The 7.4 beta linked above seems to again select proxies, log URLs, and actually work, based on some brief testing in 64-bit Nightly on Win10.

Thank you -- anyone else have feedback please?

Works for me on the October 7th Nightly, too.

This is fixed. I've done a lot of testing, but I have no finished all tests. If you'd like to try it:

1. Download and unzip [7.4 beta](https://github.com/foxyproxy/firefox-extension/archive/7.4.zip)

2. Enter `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` in the Firefox URL bar

3. Click “Load Temporary Add-on”

4. Navigate to where you unzipped in step 1. Select any file in the `src` directory

Again, you will not lose any settings.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. This also fixes issue #38.

works on Nightly 71.0a1 (2019-10-10) (64-bit).
Great work @ericjung 👍

from firefox-extension.

Yes, I'll get it out likely 2019-10-17 and Mozilla takes a day or two to approve. Basically I've been working on edge case testing this whole time.
