User preference is not stored

[sobuj53]

Hi,
I use Persepolis download manager web extension in firefox for Linux mint (68.0.1 64-bit) it's very useful to catch download link. However there is only one downside that's, I must explicitly turn on "Interrupt downloads button" in extension every time I open firefox. I think it is an odd behaviour, extension should be able to retain user preference even after closing browser. Expecting your kind review on this.
Thank you.

@sobuj53 Hey,
Can you tell me your extension version, Persepolis version and operating system? User preferences are stored in browser so what you are reporting is probably a bug.

@JafarAkhondali Jafar Akhondali Thank you for your prompt response.
Extension version: 2.2.0
Persepolis version: 3.1.0

@JafarAkhondali , Has this problem been addressed? I am having the same problem on Manjaro Linux with Firefox 69.0.1 (64-bit). I was hoping it would be solved by now.

[sobuj53]

No it still persists.

@sobuj53 @keystroke3 I cant reproduce this problem. Can you tell me your Persepolis verison and the extension? Also please provide logs from extension:
Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, Then press inspect for "Persepolis Download Manager Integration". and go to Console tab.

Hello @JafarAkhondali,

Thank you for your reply. It's actually coming and going now a days. Sometimes it's activating automatically after starting firefox/chrome but most of the time it doesn't.
Here is log from my firefox
Content Security Policy: Couldn’t parse invalid host 'wasm-eval' Getting Key:pdm-interrupt :: true background.js:438:13 Getting Key:context-menu :: null background.js:438:13 Value Is NuLL:context-menu :: true background.js:441:17 Getting Key:keywords :: background.js:438:13

My Persepolis version is: 3.2.0
Extension Version: 2.2.0
OS: KDE Neon (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

Thank you

@JafarAkhondali , Sorry for the late replay. Unlike @sobuj53 case, mine only comes on when I start my browser. After a few minutes, it goes off. I noticed that if I turned the download interrupt, it would stay on until the next time I reboot my machine. Even if I close down firefox.

My Persepolis version is: 3.2.0
Extension Version: 2.2.0
OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
Kernel: 5.3.8-1-MANJARO

My console ouput:

Whenever firefox is restarted, "Interrupt downloads:" is reset to Off. "Toggle enable extension: Ctrl + Shift + U" has no function.

Options when I start Firefox:
Interrupt downloads: Off
Context menu: On
I change both and on next Firefox start they are back to the above.
Arch Linux.
Persepolis extension v2.2.0
Firefox v84.0.1

I found out it's not Persepolis' fault. If you set Firefox to clean history it cleans Persepolis' settings too.
In my Firefox's Settings for Clearing History when I close Firefox I disable this one.

I also use an extension to clear cache etc while I browse, and make sure Plugin data is not enabled to be cleared.

You might have noticed in the pics above I don't clear cookies, I keep several sites' cookies so I don't have to log in to them (GitHub included), so this extension deletes the rest and makes it easier to whitelist the ones to keep:

Correction, the Context Menu off preference is only retained.
The Interrupt downloads preference on is always set to off when I restart Firefox, even if clearing cache is disabled

The best solution for me is just using Ctrl + Shift + U, to toggle. Problem solved.
