Where you say "latest git", can you provide the git hash you used? Over time, "latest git" loses relevance.

Vimperator 3.16.0 does not work on Firefox 55.

[vp1981]

It (still?) works on my laptop: Archlinux x86_64 with
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
vimperator: 3.16.0

Sorry, I think it's my fault and I think this compatibility issue has been reported before, and some refs:

• Firefox Developer Edition compatibility #576
• TypeError: 'stopPropagation' called on an object that does not implement interface Event  #582

Version Information

Vimperator:	3.16.0 (created: 2017/02/01 00:55:15)
Firefox:	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0

for me, things mostly work. however, buffer completion (b) no longer works for me! it just shows "No completions".

also, I saw "TypeError: tab.linkedbrowser.lastURI is null", at some point. Not sure if related

[vp1981]

2WuTheFWasThat: on my system (Archlinux x86_64, Firefox from distribution, started and "managed" by systemd) the 'b' works fine: if I type TAB I can go through list of buffers, if I type the beginning (a number) and press TAB the corresponding buffer name is completed.

May be I'm lucky because the only issue I faced (long ago actually) is in searching: if I start search by pressing '/' it begins but don't close search input after I press RET but still has focus on it, and if I press RET second type I see:

TypeError: findbar._setHightlightTimeout is not a function

but search and highlighting seems to work (I can use 'n' to go to next match).

@WuTheFWasThat Does (b) completion work for you after pressing it a few times and scrolling around a bunch? For me it doesn't work when I just restarted Firefox, but will start to work after a few tries. (Firefox from arch repo as well, using Antergos)

Seeing problems in Firefox 55.0.1, vimperator 3.14.0. No way to access vimperator Preferences (button click does nothing). No :buffers, no :tab, no f to show links (Reference Error: tab is not defined). That's as far as I've got so far.

[vp1981]

Guys, you are scaring me..., I can't browsing effectively without vimperator.

I'll hope vimperator will continue to work fine on all my systems.

@hammerheadlemon, why you don't update vimperator to ver. 3.16.0?

[yulqen]

@vp1981 3.14.0 is default download seemingly and building and signing own version isn't working for me. Is there a way to install 3.16.0 without having to create your own keys, install npm, etc?

[vp1981]

@hammerheadlemon, that's funny. I installed vimperator using builtin mechanism, though I use firefox sync so may be this somehow help me to install ver. 3.16.0.

According to addons.mozilla.org, https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/vimperator/versions/, ver. 3.16.0 is newer but is marked as not compatible with firefox 55.

I think ver. 3.14.0 was erroneously marked as compatible with firefox up to ver. 56, while ver. 3.16.0 was marked correctly.

I would try to remove and install vimperator again, may be this will help to install ver. 3.16.0

[yulqen]

@vp1981 Yeah, I'm seeing 3.16.0 marked as not compatible with my version of Firefox too. Interesting that the builtin mechanism gave you 3.16.0. I just tried reinstalling and still getting 3.14.0. I also use sync.

@roSievers pressing it a few times and scrolling around a bunch doesn't seem to help

stuff like buffer! 2 does actually work. but buffers does nothing

Edit: actually even in FF54 buffers does nothing for me.. despite buffer completion working
