#241398 — [Sid] Firefox problem

Hi there,

On some of machines I use, after opening of Firefox I get empty browser 
window (with menus, decorations etc) but nothing else is displayed. Its 
impossible to open menu, type address, etc. The only thing you can do is 
to close the window. After changing display configuration (rotate to 
portrait, adding external monitor..) it starts to work as expected. You 
do not even need to reopen. Moreover, it looks that Firefox was running 
ok all the time but nothing was displayed.
After recent updates on some machines I get the same problem using 
firefox-esr.
The only error mesg I get is:
###!!! [Parent][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to 
send/recv, messages will be lost

Thanks in advance for any help

Greg

I'm running 91.2.0 esr on SID and I'm not seeing any of this.
I find it performs better on some sites than others, so use Falkon as well, but general performance is good without these symptoms.
HTHCheers!

Harry.

Well, I have 7 machines running Sid and on 4 of it Firefox is running 
ok. Thus I'm perfectly aware that on some configuration there are no 
(significant) issues with Firefox.

I don't know what that message means, but I frequently get a similar
message from Firefox, despite the fact that the program is (mostly)
functional.

###!!! [Child][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost

So the message is not related to the problem

After some more tests I discovered that the problem occurs on all my 
machines using integrated GPU and intel_drv.so driver (i5-2520M, 
i5-2450M, i7-2600, i5-8250U). The workaround is to switch to 
modesetting_drv.so or rotate to portrait. After that Firefox starts to 
work as expected.

On builds based on discrete GPU (in my case Nvidia GTX) Firefox works ok.

Any ideas?

Could you confirm?

Greg

Upgrading Firefox to 94.0.1 solved the problem

Are you seeing that message in the shell that you started it from? If 
not, and if you're not running it in a shell, try that to see if there 
are more messages?

Cheers,
Richard
