Can't unstash tabs anymore about tab-stash HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for the screen capture, and sorry for the trouble! That certainly should not be happening.

When you checked the console, were you looking at the normal website console log? Sidebar issues won't necessarily show up there—you have to dig around in about:debugging to get to the extensions console, which should show the errors:

1. Go to about:debugging
2. Turn on "Enable add-on debugging"
3. Click "Debug" for the Tab Stash extension
4. This will open a separate window with the JavaScript console. (Note that it may show internal errors from the browser itself in addition to any Tab Stash errors.)

Alternatively, can you try to reproduce the problem with the tab view instead of the sidebar view? The console log for the tab view should show any exceptions that are happening.

Thought I had addon debugging enabled, but anyway, here's what I see.

Error in parsing value for ‘will-change’.  Declaration dropped. stash-list.html
Error: "An unexpected error occurred"

hm okay. This looks like a CSS error that shouldn't be affecting your ability to restore tabs. Let me dig a little more and see if there are any code paths where we can silently fail in this fashion. (There shouldn't be, but it's always possible I've missed something.)

1. The CSS error has disappeared but I am still getting the

Error: "An unexpected error occurred"

2. Middle click works ok.

BTW I had tried with all other addons disabled earlier to rule out any cross addon issues.

A few more questions:

1. Is it just this one tab, or is it every tab in the stash that is failing to open?
2. If it's just this one tab, is it a Reader Mode tab or a regular website, and would you be comfortable sharing the URL that's saved in the stash/your bookmarks? (Totally okay if not, but might help me reproduce the problem.)
3. Are any of the problematic tabs open anywhere else in Firefox (e.g. another window)?
4. Do any of the problematic tabs appear in your list of recently closed tabs? ("History" menu > "Recently Closed Tabs")
5. What happens when you try to restore an entire group of tabs at once (using the green "Open all tabs..." button underneath the stash name)?

The "unexpected error occurred" message is not something Tab Stash itself will ever produce, nor any of its library dependencies as far as I can tell. That suggests something internal to the browser is failing, but I'm not sure yet why that would be—hopefully the above questions will help narrow it down.

1. Every tab is failing to open.
2. No, I don't user reader mode. Nothins special about any urls - here's one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8830903
3. No.
4. No.
5. Doesn't work.

Q5 reminded me, I had attempted to open a large group of tabs and had to force quit the browser because it semi froze so likely some firefox state is corrupted somewhere :( . I don't want to "Refresh Firefox..." if I can avoid it but seems may not have another choice.

Given that it's just with restoring tabs and stashing works OK, one thing you could try is clear the "Restore previous session" setting in Preferences, restart the browser, and see if that helps. If the problem is just with the session state and not with any of your other bookmarks/settings/etc. you might not have to do a full refresh.

That did work! Thanks!

Awesome, glad to hear it! I'll chalk it up to browser bugs and close this out, but feel free to re-open (or open a new issue) if you run into trouble again.
