2 Questions: Reopening PM after a forced shutdown & Opening the JavaScript Console

Unread post by Foggy » 2016-10-11, 20:55

WinXP & PM Version: 26.4.1 (Atom/WinXP)
1 GB of ram

Reopening PM after a forced shutdown:
Sometimes the browser freezes and I have to force a shutdown with the Task Manager or even turning the computer off/on. Reopening PM after that and it tries to open all the tabs or the page I was on. Is there a way to prevent that?

Opening the JavaScript Console:
None of these work.

From Cookie Clicker Wiki
These are the instructions to bring up the console in different browsers. The console is where you enter the code into for the cheats to take effect.

Chrome
Windows: Either press CTRL + SHIFT + J or press F12 to open the Developer Tools and click on the "Console" tab if not already done.

Firefox
Windows: Press CTRL + SHIFT + K to open the console. Click on the "scratchpad" icon on the right. After entering the desired code, press CTRL + R to execute it.
Windows Alternate:
Press CTRL + SHIFT + K to open the console. Make sure Console is selected at the top left, and that JS is selected below it. At the bottom of the console, you will see >>, indicating that this is where you enter your code. Enter what you need, and hit 'enter' to run it. The results should be displayed. Note that a return of 'undefined' does not mean that it failed to execute, just that there was nothing to display back to the user.

Universal
Type "javascript:<your code here>" on the address bar, then press Enter.
I did search for both questions, but found nothing useful.
Thank You :)

Don't have XP anymore or that build of PM, but may not matter for this.

In about:config, search for resume, then double click on this line:
browser.sessionrestore.resume_from_crash

That will set it to false.

For the console, try F12 key, or select it from menu, under Tools, Web Developer.

Thank you! :thumbup: That helped, although the name is a little different, it's:
browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash

Tried F12 before - doesn't work.
Under Tools, Web Developer, there is only error console & page source.

Thank you again! :wave:

The Atom/XP version doesn't have devtools.
