🟥 https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/5.2-Troubleshooting

• [X ] I have read the troubleshooting guide, done the checks and confirmed this is caused by arkenfox
  • unchecked issues may will be closed as invalid

🟪 REQUIRED INFO

• Browser version & OS: FF 134.0 (aarch64) macOS 14.6
• Steps to Reproduce (STR): Created new profile (been a while since clean slate) - ran updater.sh (appended overrides) - ran prefcleaner.sh (ran this out of habit even though new profile)
• Expected result: parrot readout via about:config - "SUCCESS: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!");
• Actual result: 5000 syntax error: the parrot's taken 'is last bow
• Console errors and warnings: No.
• Anything else you deem worth mentioning: I do not have any overrides from section 5000.
• My only overrides, since the before times are as follows:

/*** My Overrides ***/

/*** [SECTION 4500]: RFP (resistFingerprinting) ***/
user_pref("_user.js.parrot", "4500 syntax error: the parrot's popped 'is clogs");

user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", true);
user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing", true);
user_pref("webgl.disabled", true);
user_pref("privacy.spoof_english", 2); 

/* END: internal custom pref to test for syntax errors ***/
user_pref("_user.js.parrot", "SUCCESS: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!");

---Thank you

I don't get that at all (windows and I never use the updater, cuz I am special)

between

• user_pref("_user.js.parrot", "5000 syntax error: the parrot's taken 'is last bow");
• and user_pref("_user.js.parrot", "5500 syntax error: this is an ex-parrot!");
• it's all commented out, so I don't see what could be causing this

Can you paste your entire user.js - I wonder if updater has added some weird char on linux mac (i need to learn to read) - since it's been 5 months since the last release and the updater has changed since IDK

@rusty-snake something for you to investigate :) cc @earthlng

"A familiar feeling" indeed:
I was saying that I was getting a console error, concerning section 5000.
And that I did not have anything from section 5000 in my overrides.
Except... it turns out I did... hiding at the bottom of the file. The file I haven't looked at in many moons.
I do not remember putting them there.
Everything is fine.
I've wasted time.
Thank you for your time.
You know... the wasted time:)

soooo .. the last parrot in your user.js was user_pref("_user.js.parrot", "5000 syntax error: the parrot's taken 'is last bow"); ?

🔥this.is.fine 🔥 .. everything working as expected then

Yea, that was pretty embarrassing.
This "SUCCESS: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!" - is the readout now - as always.
What happened?
I used the wrong overrides file. I have an experimental and a master.
Said experimental has overrides from 5000 hiding at the bottom - all I could see was my normal 4500 stuff.
Also, via the GUI, some of my settings involve items listed under section 5000.
So without realizing it, I adjusted 5000 settings via both the GUI and my seemingly invisible overrides LOL.
There's a first for everything, I suppose.

Anyway, thanks for the attention - and as always - this repo.
