Homepage tweets not loading

Describe the bug
Tweets on the homepage don't load and a message stuck on saying "Loading tweets"

To Reproduce
Open https://twitter.com/home in FireFox

Screenshots

Expected behavior
Tweets should be loaded instead of a message saying loading tweets

Browser
Firefox latest

expanding tweet on threads not working right

when viewing threads, clicking on a tweet to expand it seems to only work if you click on the inferior left corner

ERROR

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ’split’) at appendTweet (chrome-extension://jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf/scripts/helpers.js:1119:435) at async renderTimeline (chrome-extension://jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf/layouts/home/script.js:337:17) at 1614387271310151680 (OldTwitter v1.6.6.0)

Describe the bug

Old Twitter legacy

it requires chrome 88+
is there a legacy edition for older chrome versions ?

Scrolling on a tweet is janky

Describe the bug
When scrolling on a tweet, it scrolls the whole tweet "frame" instead of scrolling to the comments.

To Reproduce
Click on a tweet with more than 6 or so replies, then scroll while your cursor is not over the tweet.

Expected behavior
While this is technically intended behaviour, its supposed to scroll the comments once the frame has reached the top of the screen.

Screenshots


(doesn't scroll any further)

Browser
Firefox, latest

"X liked" dialog not showing up on timeline, but the tweet is

Describe the bug
a user i am not following appears on the timeline. when switching to regular twitter view it shows that it was a post liked by someone i did follow.

To Reproduce
settings: reverse chronological with friend likes. find a tweet on TL from a user you do not follow and it will not say that the post was liked by someone you follow

Expected behavior
the tweet should say who liked the post, which caused it to show up on the timeline

Tweet Notifications not working properly

Describe the bug
Whenever tweet notifications, noting happens, unless you click on the left side of the notification box, doing this brings up a blank popup

Screenshots

Browser
Opera GX LV4

overflow seems wrong

it's self-explanatory

Option to view high resolution images

It would be nice if you could change the viewer image resolution, or have it set to the original resolution by default. Other extensions, which are unfortunately incompatible, do it by appending parameters to the url:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/XXXXXXXXXXX?format=...&name=...
where format is either jpg or png
and name is one of thumb small medium 900x900 large 4096x4096 orig (note that orig doesn't work with png)

korean and japanese translate

korean and japanese translation updates, i will update korean soon
translate.zip

Add toggle for switching between old/new UI

Spawned by my other question about lists, it would be nice to have a toggle for switching back and forth between the new UI and old UI for e.g. when Twitter adds some new feature that isn't supported yet - saves the user a trip to their extensions settings.

Sometimes video doesn't load

Sometimes video just doesn't load (loads like 1-3 seconds) but switching quality or refreshing page fully makes it work. Currently fix is unknown.

Extension randomly retweets tweets I scroll past or click on

When I scroll On Old Twitter and click on tweets, they periodically get retweeted to my account. This happens without me hitting the retweet button.

I am not notified that my account retweeted anything, and I only notice when I see users liking something I scrolled past that I didn't realize was being retweeted to my account.

This can especially be an issue if I scroll past / click on a problematic tweet that proceeds to get automatically retweeted. My followers will then be notified or notice that I retweeted that problematic tweet.

This issue is happening for me on the Arc browser, which is Chromium.

twitter circles support

i can't tweet to my circle in oldtwitter

Retweet is not translated

Describe the bug
"Retweet" is not translated and displayed in english

To Reproduce
start TwitterOld in a language other than english (japanese etc....) and press the retweet button from the home screen etc

An option to add the verification icon

I don't know if it would be a good idea and if it is possible, but could you add a setting to add the verified icon for others to see it?

Video playback aborted due to a network error

I always get "Video playback aborted due to a network error" overlayed over every video but the video still plays if spacebar is pressed.

Browser: Firefox

Video or GIF playback shows bugged colors when playing

I was browsing Twitter for a moment and then this showed up on main menu but not the tweet itself. Any ideas why this happened? I'm using AMD Ryzen 3 2200G.

Playing a video in fullscreen crops the video

Add-in GIF search compatibility and the ability to see unsend and programmed tweets

Oh, and also the file select button when making a tweet would be nice too!

'Request requires matching CSRF cookie and header' errors after trying to switch accounts

This request requires a matching csrf cookie and header. at 1611887966606991360 (OldTwitter v1.6.5.7) when loading tweets, in the worst cases.

Usually, I will be able to load the timeline, but have the appearance that I'm logged in to another account, or have the wrong timeline and notifications, but interacting with tweets will end up showing a similar error.

On Chromium, Windows. Firefox seems to have very similar issues but remains hardly usable for me. Fresh install of Firefox Beta, used it for 10 minutes and it was fine, but after about 30 it became unusably slow. Maybe I should make another issue for that.

Trying to load "Favorites" (or likes) menu causes a "Something went wrong" error

Describe the bug
Clicking the favorites button (with the number underneath) caused an error to occur.

To Reproduce
Go onto any (i presume) tweet and click the favorites button.

Expected behavior
A list to show up with the users who have liked my tweet.

Screenshots


and the text was
ReferenceError: mainTweetLikers is not defined at appendTweet (chrome-extension://jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf/scripts/helpers.js:1258:26) at async TweetViewer.updateLikes (chrome-extension://jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf/scripts/tweetviewer.js:244:25) (OldTwitter v1.6.5.2)

however at the time of the error the version was: LVL 4 (core: 91.0.4516.106)

Hope this helps!

Pinned tweet won't show

Describe the bug
Whenever I look at a user's page, it doesn't display the pinned tweet, and instead shows an error code

To Reproduce
Go on twitter, and open a user's page with a pinned tweet.

Expected behavior
No error code + shows the pinned tweet

Wrong position for profile link in notifications

If first user has any emojis in nick second one will most likely have wrong position for link. If someone knows how to deal with unicode please let me know. Code in question: https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter/blob/master/layouts/notifications/script.js#L117

Lists feature?

Is it possible to view lists?

video with outside link doesnt show up

Describe the bug
a video attached to a special link type that goes to another website doesnt show the video when using the extension, instead shows '0 votes'. dont really care for the link itself, but have it at least show the video

To Reproduce
visit https://twitter.com/BloodlineHOL/status/1569924573134733315

Site wont open if extension is removed

Describe the bug
Once u uninstall / remove the extension (Old twitter) from your browser to use the normal UI, the original site gets broken until you reinstall / re-enable the extension, softlocking myself into the old twitter theme.

To Reproduce
(using operaGX). install the extension trough chrome store, Use it normally and tweet something, uninstall the extension while leaving a window open using the extension, reload the site, now the original URL with the original site says :
"Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot."
(a button saying "try again" will appear, which once clicked will reload the site with no changes)
(after doing this, the site will be broken no matter what browser i use)
(Account used in phone will remain normal with no issue)

Expected behavior
Twitter site should open normally when the extension on my browser is uninstalled.

Screenshots

Browser

uneven full image display

well, this seems strange, for sure

Frequently need to refresh the page

This happens inconsistently but enough to be annoying. I e.g. click on a link to another tweet and the page hangs on the Twitter logo until I manually refresh.

I dont know what this bug exactly did?

Elements from new Twitter sometimes appear

Elements from the new Twitter design sometimes appear on top (or under) the old Twitter design
Usually can be fixed by refreshing

Browser: Firefox

What does this mean?

Support for twitter circles?

Idk if this can be done but if it can that would be neat

translation update

add view counter translation, update korean translation

Can't like a reply to a tweet when it's an image

Whenever I try to like a reply to a tweet, and the reply has an image attatched, I can't click the like button. The only way for me to like the reply is to expand it, and then like it afterward.
This is annoying.

I should be able to like any replies to a tweet without having to expand them.

I use chrome, and usually have twitter zoomed in at 125%. I'm hoping to see this fixed soon bc it's really getting on my nerves.
