Metamask hangs indefinitely when I try to send txes #3881

I'm interacting with a contract running on a local dev blockchain (Ganache). After clicking 'Submit' to confirm a transaction in the Metamask popup, I'm presented with the following spinning icon forever:

If I click out, and click on the Metamask plugin icon, it seems that the transaction has been sent:

but the transaction is not showing up on my ganache instance! I've successfully sent the same transaction not via Metamask (i.e. via a ganache console), so the issue seems to be with Metamask. How do I begin to debug this problem?

I'm seeing this same behavior, transactions sit in the "Approved" status and I don't see them created in the ganache logs.

Rolled back to 4.4.0 to resolve for now

Experienced the same behavior in Chromium Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)

Reverting to 4.5.2 fixed the issue, so the breaking change seems to be in the 4.5.3 release

We believe we've found the cause of this problem, and are fixing it.

If you experience this issue, try restarting your browser, that may also fix the problem for you. (And let us know)

Restart browser didn't fix problem. Uninstall extension / reinstall extension also no affect. MM on Chrome does not work while on Brave MM works.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
Ganache: ganache-1.1.0-x86_64

MetaMask: 4.5.3
Chrome: Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Brave: 0.22.13
MetMask: 3.14.1

+1 Also experiencing this error. Restarting browser alone doesn't seem to work. I have to reset my MM test accounts which means restarting Ganache, redeploying my contract, etc... Basically restart testing all over.

+1 here. I have this issue as well with MetaMask 4.5.5. You have to redo everything before it can work again.

A temporary solution is to use version 4.4.0:
Download zip here: https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/releases/tag/v4.4.0
Installing chrome extensions from source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24577024/install-chrome-extension-not-in-the-store

Yes, this fixes it for me... I'll stick to 4.4.0 for now.

Thank you!
