Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/571

Describe the bug

After some time, the floccus icon no longer appears in the toolbar. Button isn't available in the "Customize" menu either. Disabling, then re-enabling the add-on from "about:addons" brings it back.

When the button isn't visible, floccus isn't running, either.

To Reproduce
Install floccus on FF Windows x64 77.0.1. Wait a while.

Expected behavior
Floccus button should not disappear off the toolbar.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10 LTSC 1809
  • Browser Firefox
  • Browser Version: 77.0.1
  • Floccus version: 4.2.3
  • Floccus sync method: NextCloud folders

Server (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [e.g. centOS 7]
  • Nextcloud version: 18.0.6
  • Bookmarks app version: whatever comes with 18.0.6

Debug log

Log file simply shows no activity since the last successful sync, with the last line as:

2020-06-15T00:50:11.513Z Successfully ended sync process for account <CENSORED>

In order to aid in debugging, you can open the extension inspector and check for errors.

Firefox

  • Go to about:debugging
  • enable debugging
  • click on debug or Inspect button next to floccus entry

Chrome

  • Go to chrome://extensions
  • enable Developer mode
  • click on dist/html/background.html button in floccus' entry next to "Inspect views: "

After crash all I see is:

Error

Cannot connect to the debug target. See error details below:

Error: Protocol error (unknownError): Extension not found: floccus@handmadeideas.org from: server0.conn4.webExtensionDescriptor42

After restarting the addon (by disable/enable), there are a very large number of errors in the Console immediately. I then press "Sync" and sync completes normally.

Log uploaded to your Nextcloud dropbox as floccus-571-debug-log1.txt.

I'll leave the debug tab open and see if I get any notice when it crashes.

The extension crashed today. As far as I can tell, there's no obvious smoking gun in the debug log.

Any luck? It's still crashing regularly.

Mmmh, those errors appear to be unrelated to floccus 🤔
