Thanks for the information. I've written the fix and it's available in v8.0beta2 (link at the top of this page)

I just tried beta2, but see no difference. Looking further, I am wondering if it is not linking back to the original beta, and not beta2. Can you confirm that the link is correctly downloading the new version, as FEBE 8.0 Beta is still what is showing up in my FF add-ons list. Thank you.

[cbaker_admin]

Oops ... you're right. Wrong link. Fixed now.

[Philf]

So far - so good.
Thank you!

Having a problem with closing FF 26 with beta 2. Clicking the close button causes FF to go unresponsive. After a bit I get a warning about an unresponsive script: chrome://febe/content/file.js:2032.

If I click "continue", FF locks up again until the warning shows itself again. This repeats in a loop. If I click to stop the script, then FF closes.

[FlyingHorse]

I can confirm the same warning about an unresponsive script. If you need more information please just let me know.

@Skoop: Are you certain the error message reads "chrome://febe/content/file.js:2032"? Because there is no file named 'file.js' in FEBE. If instead it reads "chrome://febe/content/febe.js:2032" then that part of the code is trying to count how many windows you have open. Do you have more than one Firefox window (not just a tab, but a separate window) open at a time?

@FlyingHorse

Are you getting the same error in the same place as Skoop?

[Skoop]

Yeah, it must be "febe" rather than "file". I was looking at my note without my glasses on when I posted. Sorry.

And always with only one window open. Don't use multiple windows of FF.

I'm in the process of debugging this now. I should have a solution in FEBE 8.0beta3 in a day or so.

[Skoop]

Is there an ETA on this? It's a pain.

[cbaker_admin]

Are you running 8.0beta3 (link at the top of this page)? There was a fix for that.

Now the most current is 8.0beta4.

[Skoop]

Well, pooh, didn't see that. I was looking at the forum view and not seeing an update to the thread date from a fresh post. By editing the first post, the thread date/time remains unchanged.

How about, for easy visual reference next time, you include the next update in a fresh post?

[cbaker_admin]

Good idea. I'll do that from now on.
