I'm running Debian Stretch and the packaged version of Firefox (91) runs fine but seems a bit dated. I installed ver. 104 manually and everything is fine except that there is no audio. I changed the setup Privacy and Security Autoplay to 'Allow Audio and Video' -- no audio. I've restarted in troubleshoot mode -- no audio. Other browsers, including ver. 91 of Firefox have no trouble with audio. Any ideas? On quitting I get these messages:

On bootup firefox opens a single window which says the following:

Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back." We are having trouble restoring your last browsing session. Select Restore Session to try again.

The restore function succeeds in restoring 6 windows from the prior session, but this notice keeps appearing on every bootup.

Here are a few relevant details from about: config

  • browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes (is set to 1)
  • browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash (is set to true)
  • No 3rd party third party cleaning software
  • Two extensions, tab stash and tree tabs
  • There are no entries in about:crash for this event

Have been using Firefox from 2004 with 5-10 open windows which appear on bootup as they existed from the prior session. This is the first occurance of this error. Appreciate your support. Here are a few system details:

1.) 28gb ram 2.) Linux ~ LMDE 5 (Elsie) 3.) Firefox ESR 115.8 (oesr) 64 bit.

Using Firefox 100.0.1. Debian Linux. Dell 1525 with 4G ram.

When playing a certain mp3 file in the browser, if I use the arrow keys, or the mouse, to skip forward or back, there is no response, but the audio stops playing for a period of time, then, finally it starts playing again at the spot it was before.

This does not happen with this file in Chrome, or in VLC. Also, with other mp3s it does not happen in Firefox.

I finally got it to work by converting the file to ogg vorbis, but this is not something I want to make a practice of..

I imported the file back into Audacity, and re-exported it as an mp3. Same result.

Weird... Any ideas?

Thanks,

I use Firefox on Linux Debian 11 (Bullseye). After a recent automatic update to Firefox 91.10.0esr, some websites will not load (just sit with a blank page, showing flicking loading symbol). Examples are ocado.com and abelandcole.co.uk. I have tried all the usual things to fix, including, switching off VPN, clearing cookies and caches, running in safe mode, all with no success. Both sites run fine in Vivaldi and Brave. I have eventually got the pages to load by disabling IPv6 in Firefox. Clearly there is a problem with 91.10.0esr. I'm not sure whether the workaround of disabling IPv6 might cause other problems or weaken security or privacy?

Hello, First let me thank Mozilla again for a great experience. I've been using Firefox as my main browser for many years and since some time I also started supporting Mozilla financially with whatever little I can with recurring payments. To the problem: since some time patch / commit view on HitHub with Firefox is broken. I guess many @mozilla have github accounts so you can open and read https://support.github.com/ticket/1318472 but to summarise: my first entry there was: ``` When viewing Linux kernel style Pull Requests on GitHub, using Firefox, TABs are displayed as 4 spaces, which is confusing, since the default is 8 spaces, which is also what is displayed in chrome and chromium. E.g. https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/pull/4747/commits/e9cc9312841a9329797b0b676335c8cb1a0dc779 ``` then a screenshot (attached) and a clarification to it: ``` As you can see there the patch area between lines 238 and 245 is wrongly indented by 4 spaces, whereas areas above and below are correctly indented by 8 spaces. ``` Then more: ``` No, space isn't used for indentation in that code. They can download raw code and verify, I'm sure they know how to do that. Why don't they just reproduce that themselves? Start Firefox, navigate to any PR commit like https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/pull/4884/commits/b19a64df2c2fcd63d7407ef500fd3312287c8995 and click arrows above and below the diff to display surrounding code. Then navigate to or download the raw patch https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/commit/b19a64df2c2fcd63d7407ef500fd3312287c8995.patch to see TABs used everywhere. Should be very easy to verify. ``` and their last reply was ``` From a technical standpoint this is not a regression. It's a problem with the way firefox interprets the combination of the tab-size css and the particular markdown we use for our diffs.

After reviewing the Issue in more detail there it has not been prioritized and will most likely not be addressed in the near future. ``` This is a deal-breaker for me. I spend hours daily reviewing GitHub pull requests. And I'd really not want to use a different browser just because of this... Please help! Thanks Guennadi

Hi Folk,

Firefox runs perfectly smooth in 3840x2160, so this is not a perf issue. However when switching from onboard laptop screen (2k) to my external WQHD screen, Firefox does not refresh, not reacting to input or mouse until I switch back and forth from another window. So it only refresh/repaint when main window looses and gets focus.

I have to restart firefox to make it works again.

Configuration: Linux debian stable (11) (same on PopOS) CPU: intel 8550 / GPU: Intel HD 620 RAM: 16Gb External monitor connected through usb-c 3.1

It does the same with Thunderbird. My Qt apps and terminals (alacritty) are not impacted.

Checked .mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/ and it's empty checked .mozilla/extensions/ and it's emtpy Got an install time InstallTime20220718130424

as I click on Firefox Icon in menu the screen pops alert that says: "Firefox closed unexpectedly while starting....try to resolve the problem in troubleshooting in SafeMode."

Updated. See bottom for up-to-date question.

Hello! :) I'm on a pretty fresh install of Debian bullseye. Immediately after launching Firefox ESR, it crashes. Not always, but every ~2nd launch. The Mozilla Crash Reporter "We're Sorry" appears and the crash looks like this in terminal: mars@desktop:~/Desktop$ firefox ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 83677 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... mars@desktop:~/Desktop$

I tried making a fresh profile without addons/settings, and it still crashes but less at every ~6-7th launch. However, it does not crash in safe mode, though visiting websites while in safe mode is laggy. Here is the terminal of safe-mode: Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.jsm Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.sys.mjs Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.jsm Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.sys.mjs Sandbox: Unexpected EOF, op 0 flags 00 path /proc/cpuinfo

  • Didn't have these issues with Firefox on Fedora (Wayland) and Gentoo.
  • Toggling Caps Lock takes about half a second to activate/deactivate in Firefox, resulting in a lot of accidentally capitalized letters.
  • Generally, Firefox seems pretty slow and scrolling through items/websites with images is a bit choppy. Websites load slower compared to my forementioned distros.
  • Not sure if it matters, but I installed Debian with automatic/guided (encrypted LVM) and noticed after that my swap size is only 980 MB when my RAM is 16 GB. Just mentioning it in case it's relevant.

System info:

  • DE: XFCE with x11.
  • Kernel: 5.10.0-21-amd64.
  • GPU: NVIDIA contrib non-free driver. Force Composition Pipeline ON. Allow Flipping OFF. TripleBuffer ON.
  • CPU: Intel i5 6600K

UPDATE: I found the cause of the crash. If I enable Use hardware acceleration when available, Firefox crashes on launch. If I disable it, it doesn't crash which is nice. BUT, it leads to unbearable lag and puts my CPU usage to 70-100% when dealing with videos or images. This exact thing happens on two fresh installs on different SSDs.

Any advice? Do I need some additional drivers for my Debian install? Thanks!

Info:

  • Debian Bullseye.
  • Firefox ESR 102.10.0.
  • GTX 970 w/ proprietary nvidia-driver.
  • GNOME on X11.

Other Linux browsers can load websites, but FireFox is problematic.

FireFox 102.6.0esr on Debian 11 with a 5.10.0-20-amd64 kernel. (http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable-security/main amd64 firefox-esr amd64 102.6.0esr-1~deb11… (funda kabanzi)

FireFox 102.6.0esr on Debian 11 with a 5.10.0-20-amd64 kernel. (http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable-security/main amd64 firefox-esr amd64 102.6.0esr-1~deb11u1 )

My problem initially started out on a profile migrated from Windows (with some extensions installed), but Ive reproduced from a brand-new profile. Similar to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can

Although the problem is sporadic, it occurs more way frequently than I would like. I have done quite a bit of troubleshooting with different profiles, used the --profile flag, sometimes --safe-mode, sometimes called around strace -- the results are pretty much the same.

Launch FF (as a new profile), and it will display the two tabs:

Sometimes I am able to load in an additional website (which is short-lived), but ultimately traffic peters out and tabs are just spinning endlessly. No network timeouts. Firefox's just waiting on ... something.

Other times, when loading the profile with extensions enabled (NoScript, Multi-Containers, etc), clicking on a extension's drop-down menu (eg: Multi-Containers) it's not a full rendered drop-down but instead a thin (~2px) vertical line.

Errors from commandline:

  • Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.jsm
  • Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.sys.mjs

(The clean up of FireFox on normal quit can take up to 30 seconds)

When wrapped in strace I see ridiculous amounts of

  • recvmsg(4, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

interspersed with

  • recvmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\16\0y\n+\0`\1\0\0>\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\

0\0\0\0\1\2z\n\0\0\0\0,\0`\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0},

0) = 64

Im not sure why this occurs with only FireFox. Ive ran instances SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, WaterFox, Epiphany, Google Chrome, Brave and Vivaldi without seeing these issues.

I highly suspect there's a conflict with something else I run. Already disabled fail2ban and apparmor. Are there any system calls from the strace that I should look for?
