Why the constant pop-ups?

TreverT 6 years ago updated by nimbusweb 6 years ago 3

Almost every day since the last update, Firefox is rendered unusable for long periods of time due to the constant pop-up windows for each and every Speed Dial button.  My understanding is that this is the new process for updating the Speed Dial icon pics, but why is it happening several times every day?  I've let it run once to completion, that should be enough.  It makes the browser unusable until it is finished, as it constantly steals typing focus away from the current window.  HOW do I stop this behavior?

Hi,

This is the simples option, not always help but we encourage to try. 

- Copy and paste in address bar about:support  
- Select following http://nimb.ws/Vm5pjy 
- Rename this folder to any name and restart Firefox http://nimb.ws/awxfuW BUT don't delete it. Just rename. 

If it won't help, let us know.

That only "solved" the problem by deleting all my existing dials and resetting my Speed Dial page to blank.  When I restore my dials from backup, the pop-up problem comes back immediately.

We got many error reports, rolled back to the previous version. Just reinstall the extension.

Once we finish fixing major problems, we will launch a new update. Most likely you will have the same problem again.
You will need to do following:
Option #2 or #3

Unfortunately, you can't keep older version for a long because new FF57+ will automatically disable it. There is nothing we can do, that's how Firefox team implemented. 
We try to fix everything that is possible.

Highly recommend using EverSync to backup your dails.
