[RESOLVED] "Versions" plugin does not work

[Antonio]

Post 1.9.5 regression: "Versions" plugin for Firefox (previously known as wfx_Versions) does not work well, its speed becomes very low and timeouts happen.

Code: Select all

If you look into the changelog, you'll find it happened in the past
v 1.9.0.6
=====================================================================
[...]
x Fixed incompatibility with the wfx_Versions extension (thanks
  Archaeopteryx for report)
[...]

Thanks!

[Antonio]

I've tried with the new 1.9.7 version and... the result is the same. There's a regression after the 1.9.5 version.

Plenty of "request timed-out (45s)" errors in the "Versions" extension (previously known as wfx_Versions) window. Let's notice some "Versions" checks work well, though they are a minority.

URL for the "Versions" extension?

[Antonio]

Yes, the URL for the "Versions" extension is https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/3830

If you usually check web pages for new versions of programs or you check particular changes in web pages... this extension allows you to be warned of changes so that you won't have to check them all manually.

Fixed in latest development build 1.9.7.2

NoScript v2.5.3 and wfx_Versions v1.0
Plenty of "request timed-out (45s)" errors in the Versions(wfx_Versions) extension window.
If i select noscript menu "allow all" same results.
If i complete disable noscript extension and restart Firefox, wfx_Versions working again without problems.

Thanks

Could you figure out a regression window (first version where this happens) from http://noscript.net/feed?t=a ?
Thanks.

Thanks.

OK i made some quick tests:

In Firefox v14.0.1, wfx_Versions v1.0 is working perfect together with NoScript v2.5 and v2.5.2 and v2.5.3 !

In Firefox v15.0.0, wfx_Versions v1.0 is NOT working together with NoScript v2.5 and v2.5.2 and v2.5.3 !
(please note that when i update Firefox from v14.0.1 to 15.0.0, at the same time i update NoScript v2.5 to v2.5.2 but i did 't run wfx_Versions then. Today i update NoScript to v2.5.3 and run wfx_Versions and found plenty of "request timed-out (45s)" errors. After that i install again the old version of NoScript v2.5.2 but errors not fixed. I install then again the older version of NoScript v2.5 but again errors not fixed)

Thank you

Giorgio meant the NoScript regression window, i.e. you would identify with which version of NoScript it started failing (again).

Hi

Thanks for NS - I have been using for ages with pleasure!

Yet version 2.5.3 (maybe also 2.5.2? not sure) is breaking another extension I have used for ages as well: wfx_version ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... x_versions ).

Symptom: when in wfx_version you run a search, the progress bar freezes as if there was a timeout, then wfx_version fails for this entry and skips it to the next one. If I relaunch the search on a given entry, it is ok (until I restart firefox). Of course, I start firefox with noscript deactivated, wfx_version runs fine.

(note: to make vfx_version work, just increase its max version in its install.rdf file).

Can you help about it? Thanks a lot!

Kriss.
