Firefox: Extension shows whitescreen

[bkchr]

When trying to sign a transaction, the extension window only shows a white screen. At the beginning you see the window, flashing really fast to just a white screen.

(Also trying to open the window via the extension, shows the same result.)

The following error is printed in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: C.name is undefined

@bkchr What chain are you connected to? Or does this happen for several chains? Did you update the extension's metadata before this?

[bkchr]

This was while being connected to polkadot collectives. Did not tried others.

[bkchr]

On Polkadot I see the same.

[TarikGul]

I'm having trouble reproducing, but I have a few other ideas. I think we have a solid idea where this is happening in the codebase though!

[MishoKanaria]

I have also experienced the white screen issue on Chrome. I narrowed it down to Display Address Format to Mythos. Once selected, I cannot remove the white screen

[TarikGul]

Thank you for the extra info - I have a weird suspicion the following is also relavent - polkadot-js/common#1917

[michalkucharczyk]

I saw the same problem,updating metadata on collectives helped (not sure however how it happened since the extension was white).

That worked for me as well!

I exactly have this issue. Do you know how to fix that ?

When I try to use the Mythos Address Format from the Polkadot Js wallet I keep having the white screen despite the fact that I have updated the metadata for all the parachains. Do you know a fix for that ?

[TarikGul]

Moving this up to High Priority, and will have it pushed up the queue and looked at on Monday.

[70m4w0k]

I have the same issue but error is different :
Out of range ss58Format specified

• updating metadata on collectives didn't helped
• no metadata updatable on mythos

[edit]
It works on private navigation

[edit] It works on private navigation

Are you getting this same error by trying to access Mythos or is it collective which is giving you the out off ss58 range?

[TarikGul]

@liv-ci @70m4w0k If either of you could share step by step how you got to the white screen that would be super helpful!

[MishoKanaria]

@liv-ci @70m4w0k If either of you could share step by step how you got to the white screen that would be super helpful!

I'm using Brave browser, a chromium based browser. When selecting to display addresses in Mythos format in the extension the application goes white. The only solution I've found is to reinstall. Hope this helps

[Dinonard]

Had the same issue appear today (again).
Was working fine throughout the day, then the white screen just appeared.
Same as the original post states, accounts appear for a brief moment before being replaced by a white screen.

Manged to "fix" it by clearing all cookies for the Astar portal page.
Might also help with other pages as well.

Dumped all of the logs from the console when the issue appeared, could be helpful perhaps.
