Bookmarks not Opening at All on PM28

Unread post by Ziko577 » 2018-08-16, 18:08

I upgraded to PM 28 and all the sudden my bookmarks will no longer open from the menu. I downgraded back to the previous version and this isn't a problem. Can you take a look at what's wrong with that? I do like the updated look with PM 28 but this bug kinda puts a damper on it.

Have you tried Safe Mode to see if it's being caused by an extension or add-on?

Additionally, downgrading from v28 to v27 is not recommended and may actually break some things in your profile.

@ Ziko577

When you first went to V28 and found problems with your Bookmarks not opening, I would have suggested a new profile, but since you reverted back to 27 without making a new profile for v28, the point is moot now.

I've just seen this problem too, not on first PM 28 start or caused by the browser itself, but after I restored a Tab color setting in the Tab Mix Plus add-on, which was lost after the update. Suddenly opening bookmarks didn't work anymore. I looked up the other tab opening options in Tab Mix Plus and also found an older version of Tab Utilities Lite, which I used earlier to color the active tab.
As both of these add-ons have also similar tab opening functions (for bookmarks, etc.) I supposed they might conflict somehow, so I reset Tab Utilities Lite to > defaults, then disabled this add-on, then checked the remaining Tab Mix Plus options and after restarting Pale Moon 28 the bookmarks were back and active. (- just as possible source to think of...)

I use Tab Utilities Lite and I could try that to see whether it could fix that. I don't use the latter anymore as it gave me too many issues.

It's working now on PM28. I just switched back to the current version of Tab Mix Plus. Thanks! This new version is quite good so far. Also, I have closed tabs but when I open them back up, why does it switch to them immediately and can I not have that happen?
