Cannot read links in the current tab (access denied).

[mb720]

Hi and thanks a lot for your plugin!

I'd like to use the shortcut Alt + Shift + A to show all anchors on a page. This doesn't work and I get a notification in the upper right corner of Firefox saying

Cannot read links in the current tab (access denied).

Yet everything works fine when I click the plugin's button to show all anchors.

Firefox version is 54.0.1 (64-bit).

Plugin version is 1.3.

uname -a reports

Linux marathon 4.12.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 22 15:32:02 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Let me know if I can provide any further information.

Thanks in advance!

This is a bug in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1387506

After clicking once on the extension button, you can use the shortcut for the tab.

I can work around the bug if this is really a big issue for you. Should I?

Hi Rob!

Thanks for your answer.

I'd love to use the shortcut since I want to touch the mouse as rarely as possible (I'm using the great VimFx in addition).

I see this happening when viewing local file:///... URLs on Chrome - is there a workaround to fix that?

@aspiers Visit chrome://extensions/?id=poahndpaaanbpbeafbkploiobpiiieko and enable the "Allow access to file URLs" option.

Thanks a lot, should have thought of that!! I suggest documenting it in the README.
