I use the add-on "Download Manager (S3) 4.13" (based on the well-known "Download Status Bar") as my dowload manager of choice. It's my most important add-on and really indispensable to me. So when I call up the Ctrl+J command, the browser immediately crashes everytime. Last working build without problems was: https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/palemoon-27.9.7.win32-git-20200404-842aa7563-xpmod.7z Please look into this issue. Thanks. it works fine in clean profile. did you try deleting StartupCache folder in your profile and start browser again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That folder will be automatically emptied by CCleaner everytime the browser is closed. Regarding a "clean profile", I made countless adjustments/modifications in "about:config" and won't lose them. So this would be a problem... What to do now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this would be a problem... What to do now?? Just some thoughts, am no expert.... Are you using the english version? If not, does it crash in english too? Does about:downloads still crash if that addon is removed? CCleaner and similar tools are often found culprits of weird bugs Or possibly a buggy file in profile folder? Modifications in "about:config": All changes done manually in about:config are stored in your profile folder in file prefs.js, if they are different from default settings. On about:config those are displayed in bold font and marked as "user-set". You can look inside prefs.js with a text editor. Editing is only possible while the browser is closed, but easier on about:config. You can make a backup of that file and restore it later. But better make a BACKUP copy of the whole profile folder, there's a lot other important stuff in it too. If deleting prefs.js helps, you can start experimenting by deleting half its contents to figure out which half contains the culprit. Start the closed browser again for testing. Then delete another quarter of the file and test again, etc. Another trick: Multiple Profiles You can create another, independant new profile, and choose at session startup which one to use. The old and new (or more) profiles are stored in separate subfolders, very handy. Howto: Open "about:support" and click on button "Open Folder" to open the current profile folder. Step one level higher and find file "profiles.ini". If not there, look yet another level higher... Open it with a text editor (did you make a backup already??) Does it look similar to this? [Profile0] Name=default Path=abcdefg.default IsRelative=1 Default=1 [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Change it to Default=0 and StartWithLastProfile=0 If StartWithLastProfile is missing, create it manually. At next browser start the Profile Manager should appear. Click the button to create a NEW profile, and check the box to ASK at startups.

Or, just make a new shortcut to palemoon.exe and edit its "Target:" field by adding " --ProfileManager" to the end, so it looks something like "E:\Programs\palemoon\palemoon.exe --ProfileManager" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that done? :-) I can do that in my Linux system. 1. Install the program fontforge. 2. Create a script called e.g. otf2ttf.sh in /home/$USER/bin, with the following content: #!/usr/bin/fontforge i=1 while ( i<$argc ) Open($argv[i]) Generate($argv[i]:r + ".ttf") i = i+1 endloop 3. Make this script executable. 4. Open a terminal in the directory with your .otf file(s) and enter the following command: for i in *.otf; do echo $i; fontforge -script ~/bin/otf2ttf.sh $i; done 5. Profit! [Edit] Fontforge is available for Windows as well, but I have no idea how to proceed there...

bernd Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 OK, folks, big thanks for your remarks. But it does not solve that issue. Here's my proposal: In the attachment you'll find that "Download Manager (S3) 4.13" add-on (English locale only) in question. So may you please test it if possible in the latest NM 27 release https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/palemoon-27.9.7.win32-git-20200627-40464b8c6-xpmod.7z (preferably without a fresh profile) and please report back if the browser will crash immediately upon calling "about:downloads" (Ctrl+J) command. I'm anxious to know... Thanks. s3download@statusbar.xpi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The browser crashes unless you disable the "replace download page" option. Anyways, after seeing how it looks in the latest Serpent build, i didn't like this extension. It wants you to install another one for full context menu, wtf?! Have you tried DownThemAll ? [edit] I forgot to mention... as you requested i tested this in my daily profile, not in a clean one.

So, something must have happened under the browser's hood since the April 3rd version that forces the immediate crash. As we both don't kow what it is, it's your turn Roy to help and repair here please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
