Custom toolbar disappearing bug in PM for Linux v25.8.1

Unread post by IronGiant350 » 2015-12-05, 04:32

I'm running Linux Mint 17.2 Mate 64 bit and I was running PM for Linux v25.8.1 64 bit. The bug concerns a custom toolbar not only disappearing from sight but the custom toolbar entry also disappears from View --> Toolbars as well. The original name was "Lower Deck" but when I manually re-added the toolbar and icons I changed the name to "Lower_Deck" thinking that Linux didn't like the space.

As soon as I closed PM and re-opened it the toolbar was gone again. After uninstalling v25.8.1 and reinstalling v25.8.0 the custom toolbar and menu entry automatically reappeared. This seemed a viable workaround since v25.8.1 didn't introduce any new security fixes.

If this is not the proper place to post a bug report please let me know. I can post screenshots simulating the issue if it would help.

Using ublock Origin by any chance?

Yes I am using Ublock Origin. Would a list of all my extensions be helpful?

Hi IronGiant,

It's currently a known issue when using ublock Origin.

Please see these threads: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10334, viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10352, and viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8266#p71296

I have had custom toolbars disappearing for many releases of PM4L. The culprit is the extension Dragit 3.2.1.1-signed. When it is active, custom toolbars ALWAYS disappear after restart. When the extension is inactive, the custom toolbars re-appear. Is anyone else having the same problem?

This is not PM4L's fault because I had the same problem in pre-Australis Firefox also. (Not sure about FF now since I no longer use it.) The thing is that the functionality of dragging a link Up to open it in foreground and dragging a link Down to open it in background is so useful to me that I have learned to live without extra toolbars, but now I would like a custom toolbar. So far I havent found another extension with same feature as Dragit.

Any thoughts or recommendations, assuming I am not the only person with this problem?

I just searched for drag and whole bunch of results poop-up, here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/search/?q=drag+&appver=24.9platform=windows

Hello trava90

Thank you for the links. I didn't know that browser themes(skins) were also known as personas. In my case I never saw any graphical glitches or miscoloration in my custom browser theme. I'm running a PCIe Geforce 7300 GT with proprietary driver nvidia-304.

It was as though my custom toolbar had completely collapsed in on itself.
