Crunchyroll issues about betterfox

[zero5enpai]

Could someone approve that its not a local issue?

[yokoffing]

Thank you for providing all those details. However, I don't experience any issues using Firefox Stable or Nightly, with or without Betterfox, on Windows 11.

Is identity.fxaccounts.enabled your only override on the new profile? Are you using an extensions on the new profile?

[zero5enpai]

It should be the only override which interacts with Firefoxes behavior.
Beside that override I have some Theme overrides:

//
// Theme
//

// smaller search engine suggestion prompt
user_pref("browser.urlbar.update1", false);

// show compact mode option in GUI
user_pref("browser.compactmode.show",	true);

// hide vpn banner
user_pref("browser.contentblocking.report.hide_vpn_banner",	true);

// ctrl tab will cycle through recent tabs
user_pref("browser.ctrlTab.sortByRecentlyUsed",	true);

// dark mode display bgcolor set to black
user_pref("browser.display.background_color.dark",	"#000000");

// prevent sudden white flashes in dark mode by disabling this. Might not always work
user_pref("browser.display.use_system_colors",	false);

user_pref("browser.download.panel.shown",	true);

user_pref("browser.engagement.ctrlTab.has-used",	true);

user_pref("browser.engagement.home-button.has-used",	true);

user_pref("browser.engagement.sidebar-button.has-used",	true);

user_pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets",	true);

user_pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.section.highlights.includeVisited",	false);

// disable sponsored sites in newtabpage
user_pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsoredTopSites",	false);

//proton toolbar version
user_pref("browser.proton.toolbar.version",	3);

user_pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser",	false);

// disable default browser checks
user_pref("browser.shell.defaultBrowserCheckCount",	1);
user_pref("browser.shell.didSkipDefaultBrowserCheckOnFirstRun",	true);

// titlebar off
user_pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar",	1);

// always show bookmarks bar
user_pref("browser.toolbars.bookmarks.visibility",	"always");

// directly enable Compact Density mode without enabling it in the GUI
user_pref("browser.uidensity",	1);

// enable math calcs in url bar
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.calculator",	true);

//disable topsites view in url bar. This prevents url bar from expanding on mouse click
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites",	false);

// findbar enable highlightall option
user_pref("findbar.highlightAll",	true);

// set default font
user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western",	"Segoe UI Variable Small");

Yes I use extensions but they are disabled in Troubleshoot mode and I also get the issues in there

Just figured how to reset to working state:

1. deleting cookie data for crunchyroll
2. deleting content-prefs.sqlite
3. removing Securefox from user.js
4. deleting prefs.js

any clues which setting could effect the content-prefs.sqlite file and block the content?

[zero5enpai]

Okay I figured out what it breaks:
The setting user_pref("privacy.globalprivacycontrol.enabled", true); is breaking crunchyroll.

Do mentioned steps to revert to working state after break:

Just figured how to reset to working state:

1. deleting cookie data for crunchyroll (in browser)
2. close browser (before deleting files!)
3. delete content-prefs.sqlite
4. delete prefs.js
5. remove 'user_pref("privacy.globalprivacycontrol.enabled", true);' from user.js

Should you experience issues (because of extensions or custom set themes) after starting the browser again, quickly start into troubleshoot mode and it should fix it

[yokoffing]

That's really odd if GPC is the source of your break. I wonder if it's region specific.

I would think it's region specific + misconfiguration with Crunchyroll on Firefox.

To test, you could try using Crunchyroll with Brave. They have GPC enabled by default.

[zero5enpai]

If Brave is out of the box with GPC it has to be a misconfiguration with Crunchyroll on Firefox. Got no problems on Brave

[zero5enpai]

I also tried out to use VPN while troubleshooting and it didnt work either. So region specific shouldnt be the problem as well

[yokoffing]

@zero5enpai If you don't mind taking the time, it may be worth reporting on Bugzilla.

I would say open a report on WebCompat; but since GPC is not enabled by default, Bugzilla is more appropriate.
