ERROR MESSAGE: Failed to init options window [RESOLVED]

Post by peterE » Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:17 pm

Help Please!
================ error message ==================
Sorry, the Flagfox extension has encountered a problem. The following error output and a Flagfox preferences dump has been sent to Tools -> Error Console.

------------------------------------------------------------
FLAGFOX VERSION: 4.1.x (missing IPDB!)

ERROR MESSAGE: Failed to init options window

EXCEPTION THROWN: Error: Actions not loaded!

STACK TRACE:
()@resource://flagfox/flagfox.jsm:247
generateActionsEditList()@chrome://flagfox/content/options.xul:126
init()@chrome://flagfox/content/options.xul:79
onload([object Event])@chrome://flagfox/content/options.xul:1

BROWSER: Mozilla Firefox 8.0 (Gecko 8.0 / 20111115183541)
OS: Linux x86_64 (Linux x86_64-gcc3 gtk2)
LOCALE: en-us content / en-us UI / en-us OS
=====================
I did a full shut down, uninstalled, etc....
running the same software (including OS) on another machine, no errors there.
Flagfox is one of my main tools, I miss it!
==========
update = PS: works fine with different OS on the same machine
perhaps I need to uninstall Firefox and reinstall all the apps... ? ideas please!

Reinstalling Firefox probably won't do anything, but I'd suggest uninstalling Flagfox, restarting Firefox, then reinstalling Flagfox.

I assume it was working before? Do you remember what you were doing before it stopped working? Do you also get any error on Firefox startup, or just in the Flagfox options dialog?

yes, it has worked fine for quite a while.
I did uninstall, shut down, and reinstall, etc. no changes...

very strange, it is now working again.
I was first having issues with the settings for Tab Mix Plus, and then Flagfox quit.
Much plunking around and I have determined that the update to Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.7 has made issues with many other add-ons.
I would mark this thread Solved but I have no clue what the issue is or was.

thanks for your attention and suggestions!
