FireFTP error "gSiteManager is undefined"

Could someone PLEASE report this to the author. I'd do it myself but I can't find his contact info anywhere... Your solution works, but I'm tired of doing it over and over again since every time I restart my computer the problem reoccurs (2.0.7 is reinstalled automatically for some reason)

To avoid this error don't use a non ASCII characters in Account Manager settings (Account Name, Login, etc).

To remove this error delete a file "C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\somemesshere.default\fireFTPsites.dat"

Suddenly same error. But switching versions didn't work for me... tried versions 2.0.4, 2.0.6 and 2.0.7

Editing the fireFTPsites.dat file and replacing the non english characters in the name of the site with english ones fixed it right up. Look for

{"account":"NonEnglishCharacters"

Upon examining my fireFTPsites.dat file that was giving me this error:

Error message= TypeError: gSiteManager is undefined
URL= chrome://fireftp/content/js/etc/sessionsPasswords.js
Line Number= 303

it became apparent that my fireFTPsites.dat wasn't in true json format. The key names where not quoted. i.e. host:"host.com" as opposed to "host":"host.com".

After editing the file (which was faster using search and replace methods) so that key names were quoted - the problem seems to now be resolved. And I've been on version 2.0.5 for what has it been, at least a year and a half now? Now I'm using 2.0.9 with this fix. Finally!

I've solved just opening fireFTPsites.dat with an text editor and saving with UTF-8 encoding.
Usinf FFTP 2.0.9 on ubuntu linux 12.10.

Thanks, lm2b! That worked! (FireFTP 2.0.10 on Windows 7)

I found this to be the problem as well. Adding quotes did the trick. I'm running 2.0.11 now without issue.

fireftp does not support accented characters in the fireftpsites.dat. Replace all of them and enjoy.
