Description (last modified by sebastian)

Environment

ABP 1.11.0.1606
Safari 9 / OS X 10.11

Reproduced twice.

How to reproduce

  1. Install ABP. Open ABP options.
  2. Enable the Adblock warning subscription.
  3. Add four or five more EasyList subscriptions.
  4. In the [General] tab, enable content blocking.
  5. Observe the error about too many rules appear.
  6. Quit Safari.
  7. Restart Safari.
  8. Observe Safari starts, then quits 1-2 seconds later.

Observed behaviour

Safari starts, displays the OS X spinner and then quits. Sometimes the ABP popup can be opened before the quit.

Expected behaviour

ABP and its functionality/options to not cause Safari to quit.

The second time the testing VM warned about low disk space, attempting to figure out if that is related or the cause (I'm assuming content blocker creates a several MB json file somewhere?)

  • Resolution set to rejected
  • Status changed from new to closed

I'm closing all issues related to the legacy Safari extension, as it has been discontinued in favor of an App Extension that doesn't share any code with the old extension.
