Well.. If you stopped and thought about it.. The Telemetry one is easy.. Since we disable and intend on once again removing it.

All the rest seem related to feeds service which is a front end component which still may need a little fixing up.. And WebRTC one .. I dunno.

Real question is.. Why are you in the about pages at all?

Why are you in the about pages at all?

I suppose it is a rhetorical question...

Yes, it will be removed. But, yet, it generates errors. And others will know that it is not to be used.

re 1) -- if you don't check any boxes and don't enter an AppID (= context) then there's nothing to search/filter for in the cache entries.

Storage being null is an uninitialized variable. The kind of thing that happens when you generate html from c++ and then pass it a loaded js script that doesn't get to parse the URL as a result.

Sorry,I missed that topic.Thanks.

1 and 4 are fixed

Ad 1 a 4) - I think the problem persists...
...even after the commit:
https://github.com/MoonchildProductions ... 7540c3833f
https://github.com/MoonchildProductions ... a3715d83c8

Please try you: about:cache (In Browser Console: "TypeError: context is null - aboutCache.js:13:4") and about:feeds

[Moonchild]

The about:cache context error is not an issue because it's not breaking anything. If you feel it's important, then please submit a patch, yourself. I'm confident you can figure it out.

I'll have another look at feeds but they should be fixed. If you use the feed indicator on the forum for example, you get proper feed selection, and subscribing via live bookmarks works.
I'm not even sure if about:feeds by itself makes much sense since it needs a site. Just because an about: page exists doesn't mean that loading it up manually always makes sense or does anything.

It's not a bug It doesn't need fixing.
about:feeds needs a context to work in (internally).

AFAIK (but according to the previous discussion)...
