Known issues and troubleshooting

These are the known issues of All-in-One Sidebar. Be sure that I work for solutions as soon as possible.

Please report bugs which are not listed here. Thanks in advance! But please make sure that it's really a bug of AiOS and post usable and meaningful information. Read more...

Issues of All-in-One Sidebar

Only on Mac OS X:
- The AiOS toolbar isn't customizable.
- The page source opens in the sidebar when using the keyboard shortcut, even if the shortcut is configured to open a window.
It may happen that the extension list is empty after installing an extension and restarting the browser. Simply click on the extensions button on top of the sidebar panel to get back the list.
Maybe a window will open for a short time (~1 second) when starting a download or installing an extension or a theme, even if the corresponding manager should open in the sidebar.
The downloads sidebar opens in each window of the browser when the option Tools > Options... > Main > Downloads > Show the Downloads window when downloading a file is enabled. And the sidebar closes in each window when the option Tools > Options... > Main > Downloads > Close it when all downloads are finished is enabled.
The Page Source panel and the source panel of the MultiPanel will not show the correct source code if the page was sent by a form with the method POST.
... and some small bugs ...

Fixed issues of AiOS

The browser has several issues when opening a new window while the sidebar is closed. (e.g. the bookmarks and the url bar don't work). A temporarily bug fix is the disabling of the sidebar collapsing feature.
Closing the print preview with the red x button when the sidebar is closed will close Firefox completely. This will not happen when the sidebar is opened or if you use the close button of the preview window.
Only Mac OS:
- The toolbar configuration will not work while AiOS is enabled.
- You can't close the AiOS options dialog if opening the options via the sidebar menu or the keyboard shortcut
The progress indication of ongoing downloads may not work correct (progressbar, filesize, size downloaded, download speed, estimated time remaining).
Downloads, Extensions, Themes, Add-ons doesn't open in a window when using the PanelTab button.
RSS folders in the bookmarks sidebar will not open with a single click.
The feature "Remember and Focus Last Selected Folder" in the bookmarks and history panel could cause that you can't see all folders after re-opening the panel.
In certain circumstances the extension counting isn't correct.

Conflicts with other extensions

AiOS is not compatible with Status Buttons, Toolbar Enhancements and Toolbar Control. But these extensions are needless if you use AiOS. :-)
You can't move buttons from the statusbar to other toolbars while Organize Status Bar is enabled. Maybe you also can't add buttons to the statusbar.

Fixed conflicts with other extensions

Console² won't remember how the toolbars are customized.
You can't disable the menubar using the toolbar context menu in conjunction with Personal Menu.
You can't open the download manager from the tray-context when using MinimizeToTray.
Firefox stops saving form data when using AiOS in conjunction with Gmail Manager.
The page and source viewer of the MultiPanel will not work in conjunction with Traction Control, MultiSidebar, ScribeFire, Clipmarks and Zotero.
MileWideBack doesn't work when the sidebar orientation is set to right.

Issues of Firefox or of other extensions which affects All-in-One Sidebar

The copying of messages in the error console is not working correct if the console is opened in the sidebar. This is a bug of Firefox itself.
The StumbleUpon toolbar shows a little splitter when the sidebar is open. You can fix this by adding following code to your userChrome.css:
```
#su_splitter_first {
   display: none !important;
}
```

All-in-One Sidebar and Sidebar Switcher

If you use the Sidebar Switcher extension and then change the sidebar orientation in the options dialog of All-in-One Sidebar, you will not see any effects. This happens, because Sidebar Switcher use the file userChrome.css in your profile folder to change the orientation differently than AiOS. This proceeding gets priority from Firefox and don't considered the method of AiOS.
You must edit the userChrome.css by yourself and delete the entries of the Sidebar Switcher extension. These entries are marked with /* sidebarswitcher_start */ and /* sidebarswitcher_end */
When you delete all text between the markers the orientation feature of All-in-One Sidebar works fine. :-)

This applies also, if you modify the orientation by yourself in the userChrome.css. You must delete your modifications if you want to switch the orientation with AiOS.
