Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
I don't know if this has anything to do with the latest update to Basilisk, but Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working on some sites.
On my webmail login all I get is a blank page, but the site loads properly with the same addon installed on FF52.7.3 ESR. I have a paid for account there, so it's important that I can access it all the time. I've tried safe mode, but the problem persists. Even if I set SDC to "Never", it still loads a blank page after reloading the site. I've tried whitelisting the site but that hasn't helped either.
Any suggestions?

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
Have you tried re-installing the extension?

I confirm the issue with https://mail.tutanota.com, but this has nothing to do with Self-Destructing Cookies.
Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
Yes, I just created a new profile and still get the blank page without any addons installed at all.JustOff wrote:I confirm the issue with https://mail.tutanota.com, but this has nothing to do with Self-Destructing Cookies.
Incidentally Self-Destructing Cookies also reverts to a red button on this forum, but I can still login without refreshing the page if I choose the session cookie option. It should retain the same setting each time, but doesn't.

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
I use an extension called CookieShield (v. 0.4.0), and its behavior has also been degraded by the update to Basilisk 2018.04.24.
For example, I just tried to log into my PayPal account, and I had to re-click "Allow cookies" although that setting had been working since the last Basilisk update.
Hmmm, I just tested it with EBay. Same problem.

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
Sorry guys, but this is a major problem.
I have to enter the cookies permission again with every new session.
I respect Moonchild's position about going back to old versions, but this is a usage killer for me.

Basilisk is development software. This means that it should be considered more or less "beta" at all times; it may have some bugs and is provided as-is, with potential defects.JoeyG wrote:Sorry guys, but this is a major problem.
This means that you can not expect that it will always work without errors, but rather quite the reverse, since it is used as a test site for development.

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
Gotcha'. I know this. I'll certainly keep Basilisk on my machine, but I simply can't use today's update as my main browser. I've gone back to an older version that I had saved on my machine.JustOff wrote:This means that you can not expect that it will always work without errors, but rather quite the reverse, since it is used as a test site for development.

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
I think I can say with confidence that, based on the postings here, this particular issue will attract the devs attention sooner or later.JustOff wrote:But don't forget that without reports of errors they will never be fixed.JoeyG wrote:I've gone back to an older version that I had saved on my machine.
And since this issue is related to an extension that doesn't work, what "errors" would the dev see?

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
Whatever the issue is, please do not expect it to be fixed yesterday.
This particular update is a major changeover to a different Mozilla fork. AS THE RELEASE NOTES STATE regressions are possible (and likely at this point). They will be addressed, but not instantly.

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
Another addon called Legibility has stopped working now and all attempts to reinstall it again results in the message that "This addon cannot be installed because it appears to be corrupt".
There's a workaround documented on the Mozillazine forum but it doesn't appear to work on Basilisk. Also, removing the prefs.js file results in SDC removing all cookies, so make sure you checkmark the option to "Undelete cookies" in its options menu first if you want to try it yourself otherwise they'll be gone forever.
One other thing I've noticed as well since the lastest update is that "palemoon.org" no longer appears as a prefix to the search string in the location bar when doing a search with DuckDuckGo using the context menu. I don't know if that means the devs aren't getting paid anymore or not, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Well, that's odd. Yesterday I didn't see it at all, but I just tried it again and it seems to be working now.

Re: Addon: Self-Destructing Cookies has stopped working
I guess the problem with the cookies-related extensions is part of a bigger issue.

I'm looking forward to the next version of Basilisk. Thanks to the devs for their commitment and effort.
