Prerequisites

  • I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
  • This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
  • This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
  • I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
  • The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
  • I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

  • uBO is the only extension.
  • uBO uses default lists and settings.
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

metrodreamin.com

(map editor/viewer view, open *any* large map)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. shift+right click to block the ad frame
  2. uBlock Origin crashes
  3. selector returns an empty list of available items

Expected behavior

no crash

    Please do the report properly.


    • uBO uses default lists and settings.
    • using a new, unmodified browser profile.

    You are using too many lists and a heavily modified uBO configuration. Test again in a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings.

    I can't access this domain. Its DNS resolves to nothing: https://dns.google/query?name=metrodreamin.org


    (map editor/viewer view, open any large map)

    Please list the steps to reproduce in the most details as possible, step-by-step, for anyone who only knows this site for the first time. Don't assume everybody is familiar with your site. Don't use any word in the steps to reproduce.

    uBlock Origin crashes at metrodreamin.org

    Navigating to https://metrodreamin.org/ I get "Server Not Found / Firefox can’t connect to the server at metrodreamin.org."

    OP most likely meant https://metrodreamin.com.

    But yes, it's the OP's fault: his steps are too vague, they lack of exact URLs, also it's missing an indication of which exactly ad they mean, and his uBO config is overloaded.

    By the way: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Can-uBO-crash-a-browser%3F

    Given the severity of the misconfiguration as per troubleshooting and the improperly fulfilled prerequisite steps, I close this issue as invalid.
