Unrelated problem, the thread is giving the "unread post error" thingy that popped up a few months ago. Maybe time for a new one?

I propose: SALR Redux - More browsers, even better taste!

Technically it is, though it's set as Experimental until it's less buggy and closer to being ready: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/salr-redux/

Temporary extension download for the button extension that's compatible: https://bintray.com/salr/salr-firefox/download_file?file_path=salr-chrome-button.zip

I couldn't reproduce this problem, but I was testing in Nightly so that may have been something that was fixed in a later Firefox, or I might have incidentally fixed it for Firefox in the rest of the quick reply fixes/updates I was working on (on that front, imgur is just about done, just need to do some cleanup/polish on it tonight).

I should have specified what the problem is; it will open just fine, but it won't actually, y'know, live-preview the post I'm working on unless I un-check and then re-check the box.


Like so. But like I said, it's a quality of life thing that can wait until all the big bugs have been fixed.

I appreciate the clarification; the live preview updating part was working for me too, so just let me know if the changes in the next for-firefox release don't fix it for you.

Oh sweet, I was waiting for you to post this link and then I was going to start up a new thread. I'll do that now and it'll also feature working pictures of features not pointing to waffleimages!

Sounds good. I'm mostly done with imgur uploading (as in it works nicely; I just need to do some final cleanup), but I've been sidetracked by some user bug reports. It turns out that Firefox has some very strange behavior where if third-party cookies are disabled, XHRs from content scripts to even the domain of the content the content script is running on top of get sent without credentials or origin information. This, combined with jQuery being naughty about parsing responses, led to the hilariously bad result of the unregistered boogeyman video playing on every forum page the user browsed if quick reply was enabled!

I'm rewriting those calls to use the Fetch API instead, which shows as supported by all browsers chrome SALR can run on (including Safari 10.1+). I'm also feature detecting the presence of content.fetch to use instead if available - it's present in Firefox 58+ and sends the request as if it came from the content, enabling quick reply to work properly even if third-party cookies are disabled. Further, I'm adjusting how the responses are parsed to protect people until then.

Apologies for the stupid question, but how do I install this?

In Firefox you can go to about :debugging and click "Load temporary addon"

e: Progress update, pushed some commits into the pull request bucket including a fix for quick quote not working in single post pages and some compatibility updates. Also fixed an old bug where successful imgur uploads would get reported to whatever your active tab was instead of the one you were uploading in, so if you were uploading a big image and navigated to a different tab, you'd never get the image link added to the quick reply box.

Still need to finish cleaning up/packaging up the rest of the quick reply fixes, including the emotes for Firefox, imgur uploading, and what I'll call the anti-boogeyman Firefox changes.
