"nulljcolor" and blank cells!
aikeaguinea —Thu, 06/25/2009 - 17:46
Really,really sorry about this as I have grown to love fast dial but,since upgrading to FF3.5 RC2 and RC3 I am getting the same "nulljcolor" pop-up as other posters.
Used an Acronis restore to get back to square one and then trace the problem .....and discovered that if I open a cell and then use the back button to get back to the fast dial homepage all is OK but if I open a cell and hit the homepage button then I lose all the cells.
Using the forward button from this blank fast dial screen takes me back to the previously opened cell and the back button brings back the full fast dial page......weird!
It also appears to be screwing my " xmarks" account which comes up with a code 3 error and this cannot be rectified unless I create a new xmarks account.which I have now had to do twice. ....not happy about that!
All in all this is just too much hassle and is quite obviously a conflict with FF 3.5.
I am moving over to "Speed Dial" until such time as you manage to rectify this but will be more than happy to return to fast dial if you can get it fixed.
It is also an issue that fast dial 2.11 always works perfectly but 2.22 (and I posted about this at the time) would not open some of the bookmarks (a completely random selection) in a new tab when accessed from the drop down bookmarks tab in the menu bar.
This does not happen with speed dial.
As I said I am really sorry to be negative but the program obviously requires some tweaking before you get a deluge of the same issues when the majority move over to FF3.5 when it is released in its final form.

My other PC is running XP Media Center - no problem with that one - neither Fast Dial nor Xmarks. Slightly different list (shorter) of addons on the XP machine - a subset of the addons on my primary laptop as posted above.
Both machines have been upgraded to FF 3.5.
I did have a Fast Dial issue on the XP machine, but was able to go back a couple of days on Xmarks and download my bookmarks and this restored Fast Dial to its "pre-issue" condition.
Beginning to think that the issue is only partially related to Fast Dial (problem exists at time of upgrade), and the only reason I am unable to restore Fast Dial on the Vista machine is because I can't re-download my bookmarks from Xmarks because of an issue with that add-on...

Now I just have to follow up on the Xmarks issue.

Good news !
Yes restoring bookmarks seems to sort the issue.
Please see here
But what is the cause of the bookmarks vanishing in the first place ?

Yes I feel this too.
Frustrating not to be able to work out what is happening though :-)

But now that I have a restored set of bookmarks, the Xmarks issue has gone away too!

Mmmm...
As you know bookmarks needs the Fast Dial Folder to have the same name in each machine in order to synchronise.
Most curious to understand what is happening is Xmarks messing with Fast Dial or vice versa, or are bookmarks messing with both Extensions ?
Thanks for all your feedback

Submitted by kail on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 23:08Could FF 3.5, itself, be the common denominator? It is new. :) I'll post a list of my add-on's if it needed.
Btw, it didn't all happen at the same time did it? ;)
PS That FEBE add-on is brillant! Many thanks for the tip.

Yes it could be.
Some new aspect
You might have seen this rather unconclusive mozilla bug report here
I'll post a list of my add-on's if it needed.
Thanks
That could be useful to compare with others

I came across this regarding Xmarks and thought it might interest you.
Please find here
This is a known issue I've seen with my very own eyes, but it's not caused by Xmarks from what I can tell.
What seems to happen is that Firefox fails to save bookmarks properly, so every time you restart the browser, it resets to a previous version of your bookmarks. Xmarks complicates things by synchronizing these changes to all other browsers, but I'm pretty sure it's got a fairly straightforward fix:
In all Firefox browsers you're synchronizing against, visit about:config and search for the setting browser.places.leftPaneFolderId -- usually in a problem browser it's set to -1, and resetting the value and restarting Firefox should fix things.
We're still trying to figure out the exact nature of the problem and find an automated fix for it, so definitely let us know if that suggestion doesn't work for you!
