quick link update screws up the settings

Open libralibra opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

recently, one of my bookmark websites changed its URL from .com to .tv. As long as I updated this in the quick link section and saved it, the setting is not accessible anymore. The information was not parsed properly and I have nowhere to change it at all.

the setting won't pop up no matter how many times I clicked the bottom right corner icon. I tried to uninstall and install the carettab add on and there is no luck. It looks like there are some leftovers even after I uninstall it from Firefox.

After I looked the log, it looks like there must be some js code that doesn't like .tv URL, which is very common nowadays. The error message is pasted below:

ERROR TypeError: URL constructor: www..tv is not a valid URL. main-es2017.js:2:646514*

Environment: Windows 10 Enterprise Browser: Firefox 97.0 (64 bit)

Forgot to mention: the same link worked in MS Edge browser. The difference between the Edge and FIrefox, if I can remember, may be:

In Edge, I put 'https://www..tv'. But in Firefox I put 'www..tv' without https:// prefix. Is that difference the reason for this issue?

is there any way that I can modify the links directly to fix the problem temporarily?

tried to locate the file but failed to get one from the firefox profile folder.

You need to have the https:// part on your URL, it will not work otherwise. In Firefox make sure to add it with that part.
