PureBrowser inspector/devtools not working

Software PureOS
1

Since the latest update, to 60.9.0esr, when I try to open the browser inspector in PureBrowser, there is no response.

I can open the browser console, and see the error:

Error: Unknown hostType: right  toolbox-host-manager.js:167:13

And tracking down the code, here’s where “right” comes from:

A promise chain failed to handle a rejection. Did you forget to '.catch', or did you forget to 'return'?

If I try and ‘Toggle tools’ from the web developer drop down from tool bar menu, I get this error on the console:

Attempt to set a forbidden header was denied: Connection  2496349297-lcs_client_bin.js:123:386

I’ve tested turning off all add-ons.

Can anyone else confirm whether they can open the browser inspector in this version of PureBrowser?

Thanks :slight_smile:

I have no problem opening it and using it on my end. Am wondering if it is a profile issue with PureBrowser. Try the steps listed in this FAQ entry and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for that Richard, I can confirm that following those sets and setting up a new profile did the trick.

I’m using Firefox sync to sync bookmarks etc. so I’ll just use this new profile rather than debugging the original problem. Had to reinstall add-ons.

Thanks for helping me out there!
