Firefox: форум сообщества

Again Firefox? Again? Third time the charm or something? Stop this ridiculous handoff from Search bar in page to URL bar for searches. It's not safe, helpful, or anything other than confusing. Give us the Option. Seriously, it is why we use FF in the first place, Despite tons of companies not supporting it well for website access. I am mad and literally after decades of use am making my first formal complaint. Fix This Please. Add a bunch of appropriate curse words here please. Thanks and keep up all the other great work.

I recently switched to Linux on both my laptop and desktop computers, and I have started having an issue where after closing Firefox, the process does not end fully, leading to a Firefox crash notice after a minute or two.

This seems to only happen when I have sync turned on. It always says "syncing..." and never finishes, and logging out of my account or turning sync off fixes this problem. However, I'd really like to be able to use sync across my two systems.

My laptop is running Pop OS, and my desktop is running CachyOS. Making a new account fixed this error for a few days, and now it is happening again.

Here is my newest crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/9adbdc82-3cfa-49b7-8bad-e6e590260319

I awoke to find that Mozilla VPN had crashed and left my computer undisguised for an unknown period of time. Running in Ubuntu Studio. I have used other brand VPN that would lock the network connection completely if VPN failed. Why does Mozilla VPN not have lockout, or if it does why did it not engage? Thanks for your time.

In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.

Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?

Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?

I'm using Firefox 152 (64 bit). When I try to enable the built in VPN, I get a message saying to check my internet connection, even though I am already connected to the internet. The VPN will not turn on.

idk, what i did, but i assume it's most likely user error. but i don't even know where to go from where i'm at.

ok, i'm going to attempt to identify what is happening. [guess] .pdf website previews are messing up the font when converting the .pdf to an image asset for the website to use as a current web asset, when the .pdf is updated. (makes sense really, smart drag & drop update of a .pdf menu, has instruction to make the end users browser do the work for you. kind of a one and done webpage coding for older guys that can't type, let alone edit Html, or even use Wix. some people just don't "compute" hard R or not. lol )

i don't even know where to start. i mean Mozilla is probably referencing it's own "lib.moz" which is just probably it's own personal link to an existing Lib file so it can pull it in and do what it needs to do with it without Root etc.

that is probably working fine as it renders (opens) the .pdf fine whence it's downloaded it. so all that i've talked about might not be the problem.

there is probably some mozilla function calling that to convert the .pdf as an image web asset so that it can show a preview of the current .pdf available for download.

that converter is messing up the font recognition, and building a preview image with messed up font characters (why it looks like Wing-Dings). but i don't even know where to start, and i don't think a new install will solve this (kinda overkill, and any residual files may still remain.)

i'm adding a fastfetch

[[i somewhat found an "answer" though i'd hardly call that "solved."|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1275786#answer-1276068]]

i still say a Lib in a repo needs updated, within, or perhaps up stream of the project to reflect "commonly used fonts" if applicable (i know that's the trick, 'is it FOSS') yet other browsers use it, though idk if they're FOSS... i'd need to know what i'm looking for to confirm that or not, and do something about that (again most likely upstream, as the PDF Viewer is probably it's own project (or even several), retooled by Mozilla for Firefox.
