Edit:

Here is the Error thrown if this makes sense to anyone

OK, so just how did you come up with that?
And just what does that Pref do?
And why does flipping it make things work?

Thanks, by the way :-).


Or... is it just that things happen to be working - at the moment?
Or... does it only help... certain sites... certain times... ?
As in, on one site it worked, yet another it didn't?

Probably something wrong with the performance.measure() function.
I did not dig deep...
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ce/measure

I suppose that in previous versions of PM this function was not implemented at all, so the error did not occur.

Nice catch. :thumbup:
This explains why Firefox 52 and Waterfox Classic AKA Firefox 56 don't have this issue with GoogleTranslate.
I checked and indeed 56 doesn't have this function implemented yet.

Looks like they changed the way measure() works very, very recently, adopting an "options" object (measureOptions parameter) and returning a different kind of object (Returns PerformanceMeasure). Firefox 103+
I'll probably flip the API off in the next version since it can also be used for tracking/profiling. If devs need it for their analysis, they can switch it back on.
Still, we should look into adopting the spec change to have an up-to-date implementation.

By inspecting the code on the line indicated in the console, which is full of performance commands ;)

Hi guys, can you please write the path where the configurator is or where to set what for such a change?

Thank you.

  1. In the address bar, type about:config and press enter
  2. In the page that shows up then, in the Filter box, type "navigation" to quickly find the preference
  3. Double-click on the dom.enable_performance_navigation_timing preference to set it to false
