Is the problem still present?

Hmm, this might be an extensions conflict.

I do still have the problem with my everyday (default) profile. After updating the extension then opening preferences:

With a less heavily extended profile, not blank:

Is the problem still present?

It is for me in Firefox 74.0. The problem is here:

https://github.com/WaldiPL/playbackSpeed/blob/b62b6ba0bdb7e84c944a79a9e293939979e812a1/src/options.js#L50

This just throws an error in the console:

TypeError: db.popup is undefined

The script does not handle the case where no popup has been defined yet.

But I am unsure how this can still happen. Looking at the code you make sure to always define a popup on installation… However reinstalling does not seem to have helped for me. I may need to dig slightly deeper.

I also wonder if that event gets triggered if an addon is installed through Firefox sync. Maybe that is the problem?

I tried pinning the extension to the overflow menu in Firefox 76.0. No improvement.

I have the same problem, and the extension doesn't work anymore, going from FF 118 to 118.0.1 (Linux amd64).

I checked with another machine, it could be a problem with containers. Containers are quite a PITA....
