Webconsole dead, context for favorites toolbar greyed out

Unread post by cartel » 2018-09-28, 09:45

Latest PM X64.
The web console shows no data, worked fine on 27.9.4 with the same profile.
New profile shows no change.

Also the bookmarks toolbar context menu is grey out, if I open a new window, the context in the new window works.

Not sure whats going on.

thanks

It's working just fine for me. Does it work for you in Pale Moon's safe mode? Or with a new clean profile?

Here is 28.2.2 and 27.9.4 with absolutely clean profiles.
I can refresh the page and see webconsole works in 27 but the same does nothing in 28.

Not sure what's happening on your end, but - as I said - works for me with PM 28.2.2:

I'm getting the same thing as cartel. I'm on Linux if that matters.

I hope each app uses its own profile, not common to both? Providing the troubleshooting information would also be helpful.

Try to open Error Console first, clear it, then start Web Console and check for any errors.

I see the same thing as Cartel. (Win 7 x86)
In PM 28.2.2 the web console didn't display any urls of sites making requests, but in 27.9.4 they were displayed.

Tried with new profiles on PM 28.2.2 and PM 27.9.4, on three pages:
1) PM firstrun page; 2) this forum post; 3) a heavy site: amazon.com
The error console was cleared before refreshing the page and checking the web console.

In Pale Moon 28.x, this type of log must first be enabled:

Sorry, but I thought it's obvious :roll:

Thank you very much, that solved it (for me).

Not obvious to "home-user-me" (I haven't poked around in the web console much).

Edit: added: '(for me)'

You are welcome. Let's hope the topic starter's problem has the same origin.

There is a reason that these are tools for web developers - a certain level of own initiative and prior knowledge and a desire to learn the tools you are working with (instead of assuming defaults will always remain the same and are a perfect match of what you happen to want to monitor) is pretty much a prerequisite.

I think what JustOff is asking you is, when you do that, what errors (if any) do you see in the Error Console?

Yep, and for the Moon's sake post your Troubleshooting Information!

The details about your distro and the source of the Pale Moon package (official, stevepusser's, etc.) will be useful as well.
