Can't Log In - Invalid Password?

Same story here. Unlocking/restoring from backup does not work in Firefox under ubuntu, but works without problem in Chrome. I like Firefox, what happened with it?

I looked into this more today and turns out it was a regression in Firefox that was solved by updating the buffer library so I was able to fix it finally. Next release will once again have support for Firefox.

Hopefully, firefox 49 will be ok?

I'm fucked too with this. I'm a firefox guy. Probably most linux are too.

Just tried on OSX with Firefox v47 and was able to restore a backup from April with no issues. I then upgraded to v48 and using the same backup file I get the "invalid format" error.

From what I can tell from the console errors it seems this Firefox update has broken the crypto libraries, so it will no longer support the wallet period. Those libraries are outside of my control and no longer actively maintained afaik, the last update was in January.

If you insist on using Firefox you will have to revert to v47.

This is sad. This makes unusable public/working devices where you can't install software.

Do you really want to use those kinds of devices for your Bitshares wallet? I certainly wouldn't..

Sure I do. Anyway, unsupported browsers are going to create a bad image for openledger, especially firefox, which is the top open source browser.

Is there any chance to fork those libraries and pull to Mozilla?
I mean, who is more competent and interested to do this?

Maybe worth reporting to mozilla?

I can have a look to see if there's an issue with Firefox, but the GUI is only fully tested in Chrome so that's what I recommend using.

There is another report for the same issue with Win 10/Firefox 48 https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,22996.msg297659/topicseen.html

Import fails for me also in Firefox 48/Win 10 and Edge/Win 10.
