Hello @roytam1! I am running your latest version of New Moon 28 installed from the file palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20240127-d849524bd-uxp-35252384aa-xpmod.7z. When opening the Browser Console (Ctrl + Shift + J) and closing then, it will open automatically every time you start the browser again. I have tried everything possible, but this stupid Browser Console now has a life of its own. That seems to me to be an issue that wasn't there before. I noticed this issue in my dirty profile but even in a clean profile, the same issue happens. Maybe, you can reproduce and hopefully fix it.

because there is a late commit fixing this: https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/1116e8e137a3525b8313505a71894bb50af816d6

you may need to fix this by hand or wait for next build.

Thank you very much for clarification! I already thought that my New Moon installation was faulty.

Strictly following the commit https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/1116e8e137a3525b8313505a71894bb50af816d6 you posted above I performed the fixing manually. Unfortunately, my installation of New Moon 28 was indeed corrupted and showed again the issues I mentioned in my previous posts.  Thus, I made a fresh install, injected the fix and now, it is working like a charm. Thanks again for pointing me to this commit!

you need to delete startupCache folder in your profile in order to activate the manual fix.

Thanks! However, after a fresh install of New Moon 28, it worked without deleting the startupCache folder. But good to know. I usually delete this cache every time if I change CSS stylesheets in Mypal 68.

... FWIW, this very same bug can be observed in the latest St55 (32-bit, buildID=20240125063308) ; I suspect the "fix" is similar, at least according to:

https://github.com/roytam1/basilisk55/commit/323bda6dcc13f3875ef36bbce15b59107ac0f09e

BTW, I haven't updated my daily driver, St52, but I expect the bug to be there, too, since it affects ALL UXP-based apps ...

Hello VistaLover,
You are right.
The latest (s.a.) St52 shows the same bug-pattern as NM28.
Just take my latest post on NM28 concerning this  bug
and replace St52 for NM28  -  the same story.

@anton12 As already described in previous posts, you can easily fix this bug yourself manually, strictly following the commit https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/1116e8e137a3525b8313505a71894bb50af816d6 @roytam1 kindly posted. Works great here.

Would be anyone here be so indulgent and kind to explain how exactly one can fix this manually? Didn't find any "hudservice.js" in the St_52.9's folder and tbh, i do not spot any kind of "instruction" there which i would be able to "follow"... Many thanks in advance!

Inside your programme folder of Serpent 52 is a subfolder named browser where you have to extract the omni.ja file to a folder in which the hudservice.js file can be found under chrome\devtools\modules\devtools\client\webconsole\.

Many thanks @AstroSkipper for unveiling that missing link!

Just a quick report: the latest Serpent 52.9 sometimes crashes (xul.dll) on site videocardz.com (main site), on articles it doesn't crash.

I did update my certificates with Cert Updater 1.6 found on this fine site, and ever since videocardz.com ads are not displayed. It's probably a poorly made site...

Did you know

  CheckArg("purgecaches") or PR_GetEnv("MOZ_PURGE_CACHES")

Unfortunately, I didn't. But thanks! Any further information on that?

Translation: You can run the browser executable with -purgecaches command-line argument.

Or set an environment variable MOZ_PURGE_CACHES to 1.

If present at browser startup, should clean its caches then.
