Hello 👋
Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.
I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

@marcelklehr not fixed in 5.0.8. The same behavior.
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2024):
This should be fixed in v5.0.9
@alpo commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2024):
The same behavior for v5.0.9
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2024):
Then it's likely a Mullvad issue
@alpo commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2024):
Do you test your add-on in Tor Browser? The Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser are essentially the same build of the Firefox, but the MB does not include Tor.
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (Jan 28, 2024):
I do not
@ruihildt commented on GitHub (Feb 9, 2024):
Quickly parsing the manifest, it seems the floccus webextension relies on service workers.
Service workers are not currently not working in Private Browsing Mode (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1320796), which Mullvad Browser uses by default.
@bhlevca commented on GitHub (Feb 26, 2024):
I don't think that this issue is a private browsing mode issue. You can disable that in Mulvadd browser and you get the exact same problem. I experimented with various settings in the browser including disabling all the security features that could be disables and I could not make it work. There may be a JavaScript issue, but I don't know what floccus does. In any case Trying Google bookmarks is frozen completely like it happened in 5.0.6 in Firefox. Marcel Fixed something then for Firefox, perhaps this issue is related.
@supercoolspy commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2024):
Not fixed in librewolf either
@ruihildt commented on GitHub (Mar 12, 2024):
If it's not private browsing mode, it's likely to be some RFP (Resist Fingerprinting) settings. I don't have the time to look further into it right now though.
@bhlevca commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2024):
you are probably right
@MangoCubes commented on GitHub (Apr 1, 2024):
One thing I noticed is that the syncing works if it is imported instead of creating the profile directly in the Mullvad browser. So a workaround is to create a profile in Firefox, export it, and import it in Mullvad browser. Settings can be updated in the browser after you import it. Only minor issue is that the "Last synchronized" message does not update whilst the add-on screen is open, so it looks like nothing is happening when you manually trigger synchronisation.
Oh, and don't forget to turn on auto-sync after importing it, it looks like they are disabled by default.
@bhlevca commented on GitHub (Apr 1, 2024):
Thanks for the update. It is interesting that it goes around the Google authentication, which does not work in Mullvad.
It worked for me. Thanks
@marcelklehr commented on GitHub (May 3, 2024):
This was the clue. Should be fixed with the next release.
