Since the latest update of this on chrome when i am logged in all i receive is this error message now

Could not find valid x_bc value. Please open OnlyFans.com once and make sure it fully loads. If you are not logged in, please log in and refresh the page

it doesn't matter if i uninstall the extension re install it anything it still throws the same error

Hm, I'm not really able to reproduce this. Tested it on Google Chrome on Linux, Version 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit). All values seem to work fine for me.

My only suggestion would be to try maybe logging out of OnlyFans and logging back in, then visit onlyfans.com in a new tab. Wait for the new tab to fully load and then check the extension again.

If that doesn't work, maybe try Firefox?

I have the same problem. Both with Firefox and with Opera.

My only suggestion is really to log out of OF, then log back in. After logging in, make sure to do a proper page refresh (hit F5 or click the refresh button in your browser).
It might be worth a shot to close your current OF browser tab, and then opening OF in a brand new browser tab.

Personally I use this on Firefox (sometimes with container tabs) and Brave (mainly for Chromium testing) and I can't seem to reproduce this issue, sadly. It seems to work fine here, so not really sure what the issue may be.

I do want to follow-up that I occasionally get this error message too, but once I hit refresh in my browser and click on the extension icon again, I am able to copy the cookie values.

So just make sure that you're both:

  • Hitting refresh button / F5 to refresh the OF website (any page should do).
  • And clicking on the extension to "re-open" the popup.

Logged out, closed firefox, logged in, same error. Reloaded page, error is gone?! Works now. how strange...

Did you previously try reloading the page after logging in? If not, I suppose I should word the error message differently.
The extension typically needs a full page reload after logging in, usually logging out first isn't necessary, so I should clarify this part.

It's a semi-known "bug" - or more like laziness - with the extension that it requires a 'proper' browser refresh on the OF website to get x_bc to be read properly.

Maybe it should say something like this instead:

Could not find valid x_bc value.
Refresh your OnlyFans.com page and click on the extension again to refresh this popup.
If you are not logged into OnlyFans.com, please log in and then refresh OnlyFans.com after logging in.

i refreshed the page several times before. normal refresh and ctrl-f5 reloads. the error didn't go away. but after logoff/login/reload it worked.

Ah, that is odd then. If it happens again, could you check if restarting the browser (without logging out first) affects it too? Unless you tried that before you tried logging out.

Thanks :)

I think i tried that. Closed browser, reloaded page, error remained.
