Anyone having problems with Firefox 57?

[edison]

I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (57), and one of my everyday use scripts is breaking regularly when sending strings to the address bar.

Up until a few months ago, I could use SendPlay and everything worked great. Then that stopped working reliably, and I switched to SendInput. Now SendInput isn't working and the only way I can reliably enter URLs is with SendEvent, which is not much faster than I can type manually.

I just tried SendPlay and it's not apparently doing *anything*, which is bizaare.

I used to be able to do something like this:

Code: Select all

SendPlay ^lhttp://www.google.com{Enter}

Now I have to do this (and even then it's not 100% reliable):

Code: Select all

SendEvent ^l
Sleep, 10
SendEvent http://www.google.com{Enter}

Many times the beginning of the URL (or javascript) I'm sending is truncated. Sometimes just a single character, sometimes more.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Any ideas how to get back my old functionality?

It's possible that your sleep time is too small,

This currently works for me on ff 57

Code: Select all

f1::
sendURL("http://www.google.com",1)
return

sendURL(str,sendEnter = 1) {
	Sendinput ^l
	sleep 50
	Sendinput % str (sendEnter ? "{enter}" : "")
}

Hi, seems to be a lot of problems with FF57. Many are going back to FF56.0.2.
I Googled "rollback Firefox 57", and this was the 1st entry:

"I need to rollback from the newly-installed Win10 v57.0 64b Firefox ... can you provide a link?"

It took less than a minute; not the same trouble as you have, but it did fix mine.

Edit- Seems to have more problems if running Win64.
