[PALE MOON + new HCTP included here] [BUG, cause detected!, needs research!] - [PaleMoon 27.5 / 27.4.2] & [Firefox 43] *HANGS* at shutdown or restart, also on addon disable/uninstall. #368
Comments
** NEW Technical Info: (Win 7 64), from "WhatIsHang" app! **
** OLD, (less useful?) info: **
|
UPDATE: cause detected!, main messages updated! |
Thank you for your efforts to provide a modern version of HCTP for Pale Moon and I hope to see your very useful add-on listed on the Pale Moon Add-ons Site soon! Ping @Lootyhoof, @FranklinDM. |
Thanks JustOff! I'll seek to have HCTP listed there when I get latest versions to work well in PM. |
I confirm that bug affected Pale Moon 27.6.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu Mate 17.10 which uses MATE 1.18.0 desktop environment. |
Just as an FYI: We now have a self-service panel, over here: https://addons.palemoon.org/panel. With this you can upload add-ons for Pale Moon, Basilisk and/or Interlink (the latter two use the Firefox and Thunderbird GUIDs respectively). If ever it's of interest, uploading an add-on to the panel will make it show on whichever add-ons site it's relevant for. All of these applications only support XUL extensions, not WebExtensions. Apologies for the noise in any case. |
New HCTP for PALE MOON: there is a bug that need research!:
Update: offending HCTP code already detected!, see details below
[PaleMoon 27.5 / 27.4.2] and [Firefox 43] HANGS at shutdown or restart with this addon latest version enabled! (copy included here!)
Such browser also HANGS on addon disable/uninstall (but a special alert message appears for choosing to avoid hanging)
For hanging, "Vertical Maximize" must be on.
The fact that it also hangs Firefox 43 may be a good clue to solve this.
In Firefox 52 thru 56 addon works ok.
Technical details:
Update: offending HCTP code already detected!:
Just look for "WhatIsHang.exe" in the code to see details, plus commented code to manually hang such a browser.
Also, there is a special flag to avoid hanging at all: In the js console put:
window.Services.hcDisableHang=true
Here is the special copy of HCTP enabled for Pale Moon!
