When I try to play Amazon Prime videos on my Fedora laptop, they never start. Instead, the screen gets stuck on a loading animation (spinning circle) indefinitely. How can I fix this? Is there a step-by-step guide or checklist I can follow? [Edit July 31] This appears to be hardware dependent. It works okay on my desktop (Intel i7-4790 with GeForce GT 730) but fails on my laptop (Intel Celeron N4500 with Jasperlake embedded GPU) despite having followed the checklist on the Fedora website. Just today, I found the

utility. On both systems, it says in the properties section:

SUBSYSTEM drm
DEVTYPE drm-minor

I have the same problem like: - How do I run the same linux command in more than one tab/shell simultaneously? But for sway containers, not just a terminal emulator. For example, having three instances of a browser in a workspace and sending input through keystrokes to all of them simultaneously. Maybe something like an option to focus on multiple containers at the same time? Is there any way to achieve this?

Is there any way to use common web browsers such as firefox to fetch a page using command line interface? If I use firefox www.google.com, then firefox is opened and shows google page. I want to fetch the web site and save that a one or a bunch of files.

I can start a web page with command line like that cromium-browser http://some-page.com . How can I start a web page with command line and with hard refresh cache option (equivalent of CTRL-F5 if I tried to manually opened it with cromium)? I think there must be an argument option to do that but I couldn't find it.

It's been a while since my web-browsing has really suited me. What I would really like is: A javascript-enabled web browser with a tab-based browsing system that can be controlled simultaneously using a console and a GUI. For example, I'd like to be able to... 1) open a bunch of tabs 2) go to the console and tell it something like 'copy the url open in each tab and write it, along with the html, to a file, for each open tab' in other words, I want to be able to browse with tabs at my leisure, and then write scripts that iterate over each tab. Does anything like that exist?

When I launch Chrome on Linux Mint, it asks for being the default browser. I confirm and it is remembered between browser relaunches. But when I shut my laptop down and then turn on again, default browser is not set anymore. Also, after I press _Set Default_ in Chrome I can see that default browser in _Preferred Applications_ is still unset. But if I set it there it is also persisted until next system restart only.

This is one of the weirdest issues I have ever had: When scrolling in Twitter in a browser, the laptop suddenly does a hard restart. This can happen multiple times a day or it can take a few days before it happens. I cannot provoke the error reliably. It started around September 2024. * The laptop passes RAM test (24h) * It happens both in Firefox and in Brave * Scrolling can be done by touchpad or page-down. Same issue. * Same issue when using Intel or nVidia driver * No issue scrolling in, say, Instagram or in programs like LibreOffice * Laptop passes CPU stress test (8 hours of: s-tui stress; glxgears; VLC playing 2 video streams at 8Mbps each) * Running kernel 6.8.0-40 gives same issue It is not due to cooling: The boot can happen a high load or a low load. Is there any stress test I can run on the graphics cards? My best guess is that the scrolling sometimes triggers some sort of bug in the cards. Maybe a new optimization introduced in August in X.org triggers this? Can I run a test of all X.org commands? Can I ask X.org to be "less optimized"? OS: Ubuntu GNU/Linux 24.04 Graphics cards: ~~~ 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev a1) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) ~~~ journalctl -b -1 looks like it would if the power just disappeared: 100% normal and then nothing.

I've generated a self-signed certificate for my build server and I'd like to globally trust the certificate on my machine, as I created the key myself and I'm sick of seeing warnings. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. How can I take the certificate and globally trust it so that browsers (Google Chrome), CLI utilities (wget, curl), and programming languages (Python, Java, etc.) trust the connection to https://example.com without asking questions?

I've run into a bit of a weird issue: If I try to open a file-local .html file inside of a directory starting with a dot (.) the browser claims that it does not have permission to view it, e.g.:

mkdir -p ~/.test/
echo "Hello, World!" > ~/.test/test.html
chmod -R 777 ~/.test/
firefox ~/.test/test.html    # Works on Ubuntu 21.10 but not in 22.04.
chromium ~/.test/test.html   # Fails on Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04.

Is this some kind of browser sandboxing issue? And if so, is there some common workaround in place? One thing that I did note about Firefox: Ubuntu has moved to a snap package in 22.04, is that somehow related to these permissions? Additionally, Chromium appears to also be a snap package (in both cases).

$ garcon-url-handler https://example.com/ 

opens the URL in a regular browser window. How to make it open it in an incognito window? No I don't want to type CTRL+SHIFT+N and paste it in the URL bar.

I'm currently trying to switch browser from Chrome to Firefox. But currently, there is a problem with Firefox where the window/site width size is not as flexible as Chrome window/site width size. On chrome, I can make the site have width as small as possible without cutting the view, while in Firefox it just cuts at certain width. *The website width is currently being cut unlike on Chrome* I have tried multiple things such as using userChrome.css advice from multiple Firefox forum but it still doesn't work. I tried to look for default/full sample of userChrome.css file or the entire documentation that may show some pointers about site min-width but I still couldn't find it(You can share the full documentation link if possible, that will help me a lot).

So I have been running into this weird issue where Chromium would hang, and pretty much lock out mouse clicks. The mouse can still move, I can navigate using my keyboard all non-chromium windows like alt+tab and etc. But I can't click focus on any window with the mouse. If I kill chromium process, things go back to normal. I have experienced this issue on both Mate Linux Mint 19.3 (kernel 5.4) and on KDE OpenSuse 15.2 (kernel 5.13), and on different computers using different mice (both usb and wireless). Only thing in common with the hangs I have seen is: 1) All of them are on X11 (so no wayland) 2) Computers have AMD gpus, up to 6-7 years apart 3) Most of the time, it tends to happen when the mouse hovers over a tab and the tooltip shows up (but not always, just most of the time) I have no way to replicate it though, it just happens every once in a while. Anyone ever run into this issue and know how to fix it? (Please don't say use FireFox, I use it but I need both) Thanks Edit: I ran into the issue again, and it seems I don't need to kill the entire chrome but just the gpu process. Anyone have any idea?

I wrote a script that generates a PDF and an HTML file on RAM-disk: - The PDF file can be opened as expected. - The HTML file can be opened with an editor, but not with a browser. This is the error message I get from the browser (Chrome, Firefox) on Ubuntu Linux 24.04: Access to the file was denied The file at file:///dev/shm/test.html is not readable. It may have been removed, moved or file permissions may be preventing access. ERR_ACCESS_DENIED These are the file details: /dev/shm> ll -rw-rw-r-- 1 11K 2024-08-30 11:06 test.html If I copy the file to the hard disk, it can be opened as expected: /dev/shm> cp ./test.html ~ ------- If I build Chromium from source as explained here , will I be able to open files stored on RAM-disk like /dev/shm?

I’m interested in testing some QNX Web Browser 2.0 development (https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/7.0.0/#com.qnx.doc.blink.browser/topic/browser_about.html) . But the Web Browser package is not available for neither SDP 7.1 or 8.0, which is the only versions I have license for. Is it possible to get the Web Browser package separately in some way? Or do I have to get a 7.0 license and install that locally first?

Today I opened Thunderbird to check my email, and without confirmation, it opened Firefox to a donation webpage. That's fine for Thunderbird, but I don't want any program just being able to open URLs without confirmation. This is a security breach. On Android, I have multiple browsers and no default. Whenever an app wants to open a URL, it asks me which browser I would like to use. I also have the option to not open the URL at all. How can I get this same kind of functionality on my Linux desktop? EDIT: Perhaps there is a small Linux program that I can set as default browser, and it intercepts URLs, and prompts me for a browser to open with?

I am connecting with web browser (Chromium, Firefox) using socks5 proxy via local port opened by ssh -D (currently openssh 9.8). Sometimes, I experience problems from the service in the other end, which do not occur otherwise. Is it possible to say something general about whether the fact that an ssh proxy is being used and be fingerprinted and detected?

I am using chromium browser (chrome) with pepperflashplugin in Debian. I have noticed, chromium/pepperflashplugin opens a listening port on my public interface 0.0.0.0:5353 as seen with netstat: netstat -lptun Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* 13971/libpepflashpl I have been using Firefox (Iceweasel) before and I have never seen browser/flash-plugin to open ports. Indeed, I have never seen any client application opening listening ports on 0.0.0.0. **Why is chromium doing this?** **Is this necessary ?** **Can I disable this?** **Can I start chromium with pepperflashplugin disabled ?**

I am running Linux Mint Debian edition (essentially Debian testing) and the Cinnamon desktop environment. Every time I launch google-chrome it asks to become the default browser. I have told it to do so in all ways I can think of but I still get this pop-up: What I have tried: * Clicking on "Set as default" in the pop-up. * Making chrome the default in its settings: * Using my desktop environment's (cinnamon) settings app to set it as default: * Associating it with all relevant mimetypes in the various ways and files where such things are defined: $ xdg-mime query default text/html chrome.desktop $ grep chrome .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list text/html=chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/about=google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/about=google-chrome.desktop; text/html=emacs.desktop;google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop; x-scheme-handler/http=chrome.desktop; $ grep chrome /usr/share/applications/defaults.list application/xhtml+xml=google-chrome.desktop text/html=google-chrome.desktop text/xml=gedit.desktop;pluma.desktop;google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop In those files, I replaced all occurrences of firefox (my previous default) with google-chrome. No other browsers are defined anywhere in the file: $ grep -E 'firefox|opera|chromium' /usr/share/applications/defaults.list \ .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list $ * Launching chrome as root in case that helps but it won't let me: * Using Debian's alternatives system to set it as default: $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/www-browser www-browser /usr/bin/google-chrome 1080 update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/google-chrome to provide /usr/bin/www-browser (www-browser) in auto mode $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/www-browser lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 23 17:03 /etc/alternatives/www-browser -> /usr/bin/google-chrome None of these seem to have any effect. Will no one rid me of this turbulent pop-up?

Opening the following page on my browser rises my CPU temperature to over 85ºC (and continues that way as long as the page is open): https://mathoverflow.net/questions/382270/reflection-principle-vs-universes . I am using void linux, and tested this both on firefox and on chromium. My friend using windows also noticed a high amount of CPU usage when visiting that page. What could be the cause of this?
