Firefox 61 (release notes) added the following change that appears to break Drop Feeds:
WebExtensions now run in their own process on MacOS
After upgrading to Firefox 61, Drop Feeds fails to initialize with the following console error:
1530027186495 addons.xpi WARN Exception running bootstrap method startup on {42d52ade-6923-4f20-92d1-8db031269cc6}: Error: Out-of-process WebExtensions are not supported with multiple child processes (resource://gre/modules/Extension.jsm:1261:13) JS Stack trace: Extension@Extension.jsm:1261:13
startup@Extension.jsm:1172:22
callBootstrapMethod@XPIProvider.jsm:2757:20
startInstall/<@XPIInstall.jsm:2036:11
A temporary workaround is to set this setting (in about:config
) extensions.webextensions.remote
to false
to allow Drop Feeds to initialize on MacOS.
