Mozilla Firefox 154.0 (latest) no display (or ROKU either)

[robwoodok]

Mozilla Firefox 154.0 (latest) no display of StarTrack. I've allowed popup for my jellyfinn server address, but not sure what else I need to change to "allow" it to display. Brave browser works just fine on two different machines with 2 different JellyFin servers. And also...ROKU is not displaying StarTrack either. Please help point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Hey @robwoodok

Sorry for the wait. Two different problems here, with two different answers.

Roku can't work, and I should have documented that sooner. StarTrack injects a script into the Jellyfin web interface. Roku, Android TV and the mobile apps don't run that web UI at all, so there's nothing for StarTrack to attach to. Ratings you make in a browser are stored on the server and are safe - the native apps just can't display them. v1.7.0 adds a "Where StarTrack works" table to the README so this is clear up front.

Firefox: I could not reproduce it, but chasing it did turn up a real bug. I ran a clean Firefox against a real Jellyfin and StarTrack loaded and rendered exactly as it does in Chromium, so there's no Firefox-specific fault in the plugin that I can find.

What I did find is that StarTrack had been corrupting index.html. Its cleanup routine removed the path out of the old script tag instead of the whole tag, leaving <script src="?v=abc123"></script> behind - which points at the page itself, so the browser re-downloads the whole page and tries to run HTML as JavaScript. One of these was left behind on every plugin update. It's fixed in v1.7.0, and the fix also cleans up the ones already on disk.

That is very likely not your whole problem - those broken tags affect every browser - but please update to 1.7.0 first and see whether Firefox behaves.

If it still doesn't show, could you check these? In Firefox, on your Jellyfin page:

Ctrl+U (view source) and search for StarTrack. Is a <script> tag there at all?
F12 → Console - any red errors? A screenshot helps.
F12 → Network, reload, filter StarTrack. Is /Plugins/StarTrack/Widget requested, and what status does it return?
Does it work in a Private Window, and with Enhanced Tracking Protection off for the site (the shield icon in the address bar)?
Question 4 matters more than it looks: the widget URL contains the word "Track", and some content-blocker lists match that pattern in a path. If a blocker is eating the request, that would explain Brave working and Firefox not, and it would show as a blocked request in step 3. Answer 1 tells me which half to fix - if the tag isn't in the source, it's my injection; if it's there but the request fails, something is blocking it.

Sorry for the late reply!

Its complicated...1.7.0 totally works on one version (a much newer install on a different machine) of Firefox. It also worked and still works on the iPhone App.

As far as the older install of Firefox, I originally did it's install without the separate StarTrack repository and it could not find the update link. After creating the separate Repository (Like I originally did on the working Firefox) It found and installed the update to 1.7.0 When I save the StarTrack settings, the Ratings "pill" briefly shows up then disappears.

Ctrl+U no script
F12 Console no errors
F12 Network no StarTrack
Private Window on/off makes no difference

So it looks like some kind of oddball Firefox setting (on the older install) is perpetuating the problem.
AdBlock Extension on both, same custom UserChrome.css file on both (for Tabs on top mainly)

Thank you for your work on this
