Description

The last update [v.2.40.0] broke this very old script:
[GM - Flickr - Number of Favs on Photostream - FIX by Hacker09 2025 - STAY to ViolentMonkey v.2.32.0]

I use VioletMonkey for it, because with GreaseMonkey it don't work:
I don't know why and it is difficult to me to fix it:
i am not dev and the script use the Mootools template with so many parts which seems not useful for the script action itself.

I tested it with the LAST update of ViolentMonkey.
The script fail to work:
it try the different options for it, but without luck.
With the v.2.32.0, these options are all to their default state and the script work
Can you explain to me where is the problem and maybe how to fix it?

Note:
With the downgraded version v.2.32.0; i see an error message in the Edit Panel:
can't access property "visit", l[he.qt] is undefined
Visited@options/index.js:1:56410
8387/<@common-ui.js:1:94149

I do search in the code for "visit":
i don't find any match for it.

Environment:
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Firefox 151.0.2 (64 bits)
  • Violentmonkey Version:
    Downgraded to v.2.32.0 to make script working

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the linked Flickr userscript on the latest ViolentMonkey release, comparing it with v.2.32.0. Start by tracing the reported error in options/index.js and common-ui.js, then verify that the script's options return to their working defaults and the script runs successfully without the reported error.
