Hello !
Yesterday, I updated Google chrome to the latest version.
I have x-notifier set to verify at the startup and every 30 minutes.
today, I opened Chrome and x-notifier started verifying, as soon as it reaches the last account (because I have 5 accounts) Chrome closed and reran itself. I ran chrome more than twice to make sure and to know where the problem was. Finally, I disabled X-notifier and the problem disappeared.
any help to fix the problem with X-notifier?
Last account
So... to help the X-Notifier admin... what's the last account provider? (Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.)
No error messages as to why Chrome restarted?
What version is "the latest version"? 'Stable', Beta, Dev version??
You might try reinstalling X-Notifier.
for the last account,
for the last account, whatever. because I set to open automatiacally accounts when there's a new mail. I think the problem occurs when it's about to open an account that's when it finishes verifying.
I have stable version of chrome 28.0.1500.71 m
I'll try to reinstall X-notifier
the problem is wich facebook
the problem is wich facebook exactly, I disabled verification for facebook and the problem disappeared.
the problem is solved, I just
the problem is solved, I just reinserted the script of facebook and I don't have the problem anymore.
the problem is back again
the problem is back again this morning. but this time with one of my hotmail accounts.
I think I'll have to reinstall X-notifier
I reinserted my account
I reinserted my account username and passoword but the problem isn't solved.
I uninstalled and installed X-notifier, the problem occurs exactly when I it found that there's an email in my hotmail account, and when it's about to open it automatically Chrome closes completely.
Troubleshoot
Sometimes... I find that it helps to delete the account, shut down the browser, then restart the browser, and re-add the account... sometimes. I will set my Hotmail to auto-open and send me some email and see what happens in Chrome. [EDIT: I have X-Notifier 3.3.3 and Chrome Version 28.0.1500.71 m ...and it auto-opened my hotmail fine. There is a new version of stable Chrome... Version 28.0.1500.72 m]
Troubleshoot continued
Sometimes... another extension is interfering.
Do you have other extensions installed in Chrome?
Disable the one(s) you are suspecting one by one, restarting your browser each time.
yes, I have other extensions
yes, I have other extensions installed.
I will try to update the last stable version of chrome first.
I disabled all the extensions
I disabled all the extensions except x-notifier, and the problem disappeared
I enabled one by one but
I enabled one by one but without any problem !!!
I will send an email to my
I will send an email to my account and see now
the problem happens when I
the problem happens when I have an e-mail and set to auto-open
I learnt that Hotmail is
I learnt that Hotmail is going to disable account association, do you think by any chance this can have something to do with my problem?
I disabled the Hotmail
I disabled the Hotmail account that I had the problem with, now I have with the second account of hotmail.
once XN detects a new mail, Chrome restarts itself.
Intermittent?
Server-side changes (like Hotmail association) are -not- likely to cause this kind of problem... just more likely an interruption of checking, perhaps... not crashing Chrome.
If it were me... I'd go back to disabling all other add-ons, then restart with just X-Notifier... I'd run that way for a while before I re-add any other add-ons. Let X-Notifier run for a while by itself and see if it works fine... because the problem may be 'intermittent' with other add-ons... it may not appear immediately when you enable another add-on. So, I'd enable them slowly... enable one, close browser/restart, run for a while each time... test with a new mail sent to your account(s).
(Do you have any 'security' software running outside of Chrome? cleaners, scanners, etc.)
Are there many other add-ons? Maybe you could list them for us.
I'm using Ccleaner
I'm using Ccleaner
Avast internet security
Ant-malwarebytes
for extension I'm using :
Avast Ad-blocker
Do-Not-Track-Me
ezLinkPreview
avast! Online Security
Google Dictionary (by Google)Search Centerand of course X-notifier I'll try your suggestion.
Notes
(First, I edited my previous post... I didn't mean to suggest shutdown as in shutdown PC, just... close browser/restart.)
Anyway... I use Avast! free version, which also installs Avast! online security extension in Chrome.
I have CCleaner and AntiMalwareBytes, but I don't let them 'run in the background'... I just run them manually on occasion.
I have Google Dictionary.
I have DoNotTrackMe installed but it conflicts with other anti-trackers, so I disabled it... I use Disconnect instead.
(If you use too many anti-trackers, Chrome in particular will complain about one anti-tracker directing traffic before the other anti-trackers can. So you can't really use Disconnect, DoNotTrackMe, HTTPS Everywhere, KB Enforcer... all at the same time.)
I use AdBlock Plus (free) instead of Avast! ad blocker.
I tried out ezLinkPreview, but it didn't cause me any problem... I just added it, tested auto-open on my Hotmail, and I didn't fuss with any ezLinkPreview settings though, if there are any.
So I can't really point you to any particular conflict.
I disabled all the extensions
I disabled all the extensions + avast + anti-malwarebytes except XN, but the problem is always the same.
by the way, I'm using Windows
by the way, I'm using Windows 8, and running Chrome in Win 8 mode.
I ran chrome in desktop mode
I ran chrome in desktop mode with only XN enabled,and the problem disappeared.
I'll enable the other
I'll enable the other extension and see
it works fine with the other
it works fine with the other extensions,I think there's a conflict with an application in windows 8.
I can't figure it out, the
I can't figure it out, the problem appeared after the lastest updates of CHrome
"Windows 8 mode"
The devil is in the details.
What you refer to as "Windows 8 mode" is technically, the 'Modern UI' (user interface).
It used to be 'Metro' until some German company complained.
So I guess now there's another Chrome troubleshooting question to ask... "Are you running in Windows 8 Desktop or Modern UI mode?" (In your case, yes, it's in Modern UI mode.)
Ok... I managed to duplicate the crashing behavior... after auto-open worked fine in the Modern UI, but only the first time. Thereafter, 'Modern' Chrome simply crashes when it goes to auto-open an email.
I think this resolves your situation, at this point... and you have a 'workaround' (Desktop mode) ...but you might email Tobwithu, the X-Notifier author/admin, at xndevel@gmail.com, and tell him about the 'bug'.
You can refer him to these posts... http://xnotifier.tobwithu.com/dp/node/622
I believe he's the only one who can resolve it further, or... not, as it may be a Chrome/Modern bug.
I contacted him and told me
I contacted him and told me it's a bug in the new chrome.
now the problem moved to my yahoo Account
Whichever is set to Auto-open
I believe the crash will manifest based on auto-open, regardless of which account (with that setting).
So the account is irrelevant... it's the auto-open mechanism which fails in the Modern Win8 version.
Uncheck auto-open or use Desktop version in the meantime.
I expect eventually there will be a Chrome fix (from Google).
I unchecked the auto-open
I unchecked the auto-open option, but it's all the same.
the new version of X-notifier
the new version of X-notifier works fine. I've just udpated it this morning and worked without problems.
Hope it lasts
Good that it works...
Maybe that has to do with this note on new features of 3.3.4:
...or...some other bug fix.
that's what I exactly think,
that's what I exactly think, too.
many thanks to you all for help
