Troubleshooting

After a Firefox update, some functions might stop working. This is unavoidable until autoupdates are implemented, so this guide shall help you troubleshoot the most common problems that might arise during the installation of any of the javascript files inside any of the folders inside Multirow and other functions.

Some function stopped working after the lastest Firefox update

Mozilla tends to change selectors every few releases, so what might work in certain release might stop working in the next 2 releases.

If some function stopped working, use the newest patcher available to re-patch the outdated files to the new version (an updated version might take a few days to appear for Nightly after a new release).

If you aren't using the patcher (or if you are using Mac and it isn't available), and need to patch manually, make sure to choose the most up-to-date files you need from the master branch. Sometimes when selecting one release you might get redirected to the tag branch of that release (which will probably be outdated, since it's the start release of a new Firefox version), so make sure you are on the master branch.

Follow the explanations inside the JS Loader folder to patch manually, making sure that you got the folder locations correctly.

I am unsure if the files are being loaded at all

If you placed all the files on both the root and chrome folders correctly, the *.uc.js and *.as.css files inside your chrome folder should be getting read, but sometimes it's hard to know for sure if they actually are at all.

For those cases you can use the test file. Save it as test.as.css and place it in your chrome folder.

If you see red borders around every element next time you start Firefox, both javascript and elevated CSS files are being read correctly.

I am using the python file instead of the executable, and it's getting the paths wrong

If you are using a regular user instead of an administrator user (on windows) you will first need to run FindNonRootID.bat, which will create a temporary file that will help locate your user folder instead of the administrator profile folder. This is already bundled into the executable by default, so this problem only applies to the python file on windows.

I used the patcher, all paths were correct, the patch was applied correctly, the files are loaded, but it still doesn't work

If after checking all the previous steps it still doesn't work, open a new issue and give as much details as you can to help debug the problem.
