[resolved]Need to request NoScript xpi twice from informacti

[barbaz]

> user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.location", true);

nope
(EDIT Apparently that is set in my user.js too)

(And there is a "seer" Pref in there that I'm pretty sure is deprecated.)

That one is set in my user.js, which is definitely not part of the problem.

For the actual "install" I use a batch file:

Code: Select all

@echo off

cp -p -i noscript*.xpi abc
move abc {73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}.xpi
echo Copied noscript.xpi to {...3232).xpi
echo.
pause

Downloading an xpi isn't an issue (that works as expected), it's trying to install it by clicking on a link inside SeaMonkey.

I've got a couple more ideas of things I can try, just for information..

[barbaz]

Copying Palemoon's prefs.js to SeaMonkey 2.27a2 (which I *know* worked fine for me before).. broken...
Copying the (bad) SeaMonkey prefs.js to Palemoon.. works

Next chance I get to get on irc/#seamonkey I'm gonna ask about this, that's the place where I've had best luck getting answers for my weirdest SeaMonkey issues - and I'm not happy that stuff in my primary (highly customized) profile has something weirdly wrong with it that I don't understand, and I don't want to start over with a new profile / reconfigure everything from scratch and find it's broken again in exactly the same way.
Thanks to those here who tried to help.

[barbaz]

Well, thanks to RattyAway I've found out that it's (at least partially) related to my choice to force HTTP Cache v2 APIs
browser.cache.use_new_backend
(which doesn't have any effect in PaleMoon thus why it works fine there)

[therube]

> force HTTP Cache v2 APIs

Is that different from "just using" /cache2/ (which is the default now anyhow)?
Or are there specific Prefs that you've changed?

[barbaz]

> force HTTP Cache v2 APIs

Is that different from "just using" /cache2/

Yes.. I'm on SeaMonkey "2.28.2-unofficial-1" aka Gecko 31.2 where cache2 is not the default, and I've manually set browser.cache.use_new_backend to 1 (which I don't think is the default in SeaMonkey 2.29.1? haven't used 2.30 as my "everyday" browser, so can't say about that).

Any ideas how to get this working without reverting to the old HTTP cache? I vastly prefer the new cache for use by extensions.

"Bad" prefs.js created from a clean profile (requested on IRC):

Did I do this correctly?

[barbaz]

Can't tell - the doorhanger notifications are completely missing in the video...

I'll try to make a video of what I see (in the test profile) and send a link by PM.

[therube]

> Is this what you saw?

No.
I do not need to Cancel, then re-initiate at the Addon Downloading part.

Oh. You need to go into the data manager and always allow flashgot.net to install add-ons, otherwise yeah you might not see the problem.

[therube]

The .xpi download does not even go into /cache2/ but instead into %TMP%.

> E:\Users\RUBEN\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp-u7e.xpi

Exists only until you dismiss the dialog or complete the install.

The XPI download goes into %TMP%, not /cache2/:

And the install:

[barbaz]

OK wait, so you can't reproduce the issue even with the test prefs.js above and the install add-ons permission set (in an otherwise clean profile)?
