Infinit reload

John-Poplett

laiz I selected the Settings -> Privacy -> Orion Reset... dialog and reset everything that was selected. I apologize that I don't have a screenshot of the selected items though i thought I saw it had all options checked. After the reset, the infinite loops have disappeared.

If I encounter the issue again, I will try to go through the reset options systematically to narrow down the problem area.

I hope my workaround will help Paul or lead to better a precise fix.

Thanks,

John

That's great to hear! Let's hope things stay that way. If I had to guess, one of these was the key to fixing the refresh loops

laiz Odds are it was the last option "Empty local storage and databases". I had tried just the first three before without luck so, yeah.

Thanks for spurring us on.

Cheers,

John

thanks for the tip - unfortunately, it doesn't help

to John-Poplett:
thanks - I did exactly the same as you. Disabling javascript stps looping, but doesn't help as page unusable.
Orion rest in privacy tab goesn't help.

Thanks for your attention

Hey Paul. To clarify, does the same issue happen on a fresh Orion profile? (File → Profiles → New Profile…)

laiz Yes

laiz, Paul,

Problem crept back in but only as I started putting things back that the reset took away. This time I tracked it down to the Zotero Extension for Firefox. I reproduced the problem using Paul's URL and then toggled / the Zotero Connector on and off. On, the problem exists. Off, the problem goes away.

Thanks John.
I have no extension installed.
I have the crash report details, but too long for a post. Can you guide me for a .txt file attachement?
Thanks in advance.

PaulTrubert You could upload it to a file sharing site or email it to me at gustavus@kagi.com

PaulTrubert Sadly, no. I haven't done attachments on this site. The difference in our experience is perplexing.

The only commonality between our experiences besides the end result seems to be a dependency on Javascript. There might be a clue in the Javascript that gets loaded with your reference URL

In your case, I'm guessing you have a registered SFR mail account and your login id and password are already saved by your instance of Orion RC. I wonder if the trigger has to do with the code that populates the login and password fields for you?

What if you go to Settings -> Passwords and disable the Password AutoFill options as an experiment?
