Please Remove Flagfox Console Message [FIXED]
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:58 pm
First of all, thanks for Flagfox. I've been using it for years.
As to why I'm here: with Flagfox installed, load the page at https://www.wsaz.com/content/news/Thous ... 79273.html. You should end up at a page named "Insecure Connection". When this page is the active tab, Flagfox emits a console message in the Browser Console every time the Firefox window changes focus to another window (including the Browser Console window) or is minimized/maximized. Furthermore, when I click the "Reload current page" button, I see an additional two console messages for a single page load.
I'm using Flagfox 6.0.2 on Firefox Developer Edition 59.0b14 on Windows 10.
This seems to me to be a bug; I don't expect production software to have logging enabled by default and, in any case, this logging seems excessive. A single tab that hasn't changed should not be repeatedly writing redundant data to the Browser Console.
Why am I experiencing this issue? I'm using a (currently private) extension that attempts to load HTTP URLs over HTTPS. Of course, many HTTP pages do not have an HTTPS version which leads to pages like "Insecure Connection" and the aforementioned issue.
