Waterfox can't execute javascript as expected

Post by rapieragnay » Tue Feb 02, 2021 1:45 am

Hi all,

As adviced by thecoder2012, I installed Waterfox.
So here is my configuration :
OS X 10.11
Waterfox Classic 2021.01.1 (64-bit)
iMacros 8.9.7 :P

I have script that worked fine with my FF 52, but when I tried to launch one of them into Waterfox, I got errors :

Code: Select all

var window          = wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
src_html = window.document.querySelector("body").innerHTML;  
Error: unsafe CPOW usage forbidden, line 55
This one was fixed by :
about:config
dom.ipc.cpows.forbid-unsafe-from-browser -> set to false


But this one is blocking :

Code: Select all

alert('hello world');
Error: cross-process JS call failed, line 65 (Error code: -991)
Strangely, I got the same error with a pure .iim macro :

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON FORM=ID:Profile ATTR=TXT:Submit
The fact is Waterfox executes the code, and throws an error just after.

Any ideas please ?

I have never tested it under Mac.

No error under Windows 8.1 (64-Bit) with Waterfox Classic 2021.01.1 (64-bit) and iMacros 8.9.7

Not testable as one line.

Set browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false under about:config
And set MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S to 1 as environment variable in your system (or browser start file)
But I'm unsure without a better test script.
