I followed these steps to build my firefox
Actual results:
However, it is failing to detect my Mesa GPU driver.When I checked the

Can someone help me to resolve this issue?
about:support
page in Firefox,under the Graphics section, the composition is listed as WebRender(software), the WebGL driver information is missing, and although the GPU is shown as active, no description is provided.
Expected results:
Firefox Should detect my GPU Mesa driver and Compositing should show Webrender (hardware),WebGL 1 Driver & WebGL 2 Driver information should be correctly listed and GPU details should display correct.
Are there any code changes are required for firefox which is purely built on egl backend on wayland platform?

As pointed out in a comment to the question this was about

. The answer can be found in the marked dupe, but it is easy to miss in all the noise talking about ssh and the X11 protocol.
Direct link to answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/557920/66307
My problem started happening about a month ago. I'm currently on Firefox 89.0.1.
Up until this point, Firefox ran just fine over ssh -X
. I'm running it from an Ubuntu machine (server) to an Ubuntu VM (client) and a different Ubuntu machine (server) to Windows 10 (client), both showing the same symptoms. It's not my hardware setup or -X
as all machines are wired to a local gigabit switch and other applications (including Thunderbird) run just fine. They are a little slower than if I was running them on their own desktop, but perfectly usable.
After it happened, Firefox is just .... slow. I'm using it with --no-remote
and the actual window for Firefox appears in under a second. It then hangs there for about 2 minutes until the tabs become usable. The output in my ssh
shell reads:
$ firefox --no-remote &
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
(firefox:757486): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:39:54.241: g_dbus_proxy_new: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
(firefox:757486): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:39:54.241: g_dbus_proxy_new: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
(firefox:757486): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 10:39:54.241: g_dbus_proxy_new: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
but that doesn't look too different to what I had before.
Can anyone please suggest anything that might speed it up? I'm not really looking for answers telling me that ssh -X
is slow (it is, but it's acceptable to me on all other applications) or things to do with compression or cypher suites. My link is fine, except for Firefox.

Firefox keyboard input delayed by 17 seconds on Ubuntu 24.04 with KDE and X11

I'm running Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04 with the KDE desktop environment under X11 (not Wayland). Firefox works normally for several days without issues. However, suddenly, it stops responding to keyboard input in a peculiar way: keystrokes are registered, but they are delayed by 17 seconds before appearing. This delay only affects Firefox - other applications like Konsole, gedit, Brave, and VLC respond to keyboard input normally without any lag.
These are affected:
* Address field
* Copies in Print dialog
* Text field in Gmail
These are not affected:
* Page-Up/Down in scrolling
* CTRL-Page-Up/Down (change tab)
* CTRL-P (open print dialog)
* Esc (Cancel print dialog)
The system is otherwise stable, and restarting Firefox resolves the issue temporarily. The problem may reappear hours or days later, seemingly at random. I haven’t noticed any specific triggers yet.
ibus restart
does not fix it.
Has anyone experienced this issue or have insights into what might cause Firefox to exhibit this delayed keyboard input behavior under these conditions? Are there logs or debugging steps I could use to narrow down the cause?
OS: Ubuntu 24.04
DE: KDE (using X11, not Wayland)
Firefox: Mozilla Firefox 135.0.1

Debian Kde Iceweasel/Firefox: setting custom protocols handlers
I recently switched from Ubuntu 10.04 gnome to Debian wheezy Kde. Everything's work fine, except to the Iceweasel/firefox custom protocols!

I recently switched from Ubuntu 10.04 gnome to Debian wheezy Kde.
Everything's work fine, except to the Iceweasel/firefox custom protocols!
I added komodo.protocol in my
~/.kde/share/services
with:
[Protocol]
exec=python /path/to/my/script.py "%u"
protocol=komodo
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false
**This works for chrom(e|ium), but not for firefox.**
I've read about firefox should use the gnome configs even under Kde, so I tried:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/komodo/enabled --type Boolean true
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/komodo/command 'python /path/to/my/script.py %s' --type String
that used to work when I was on ubuntu, but it doesn't on kde.
Any idea?
**EDIT**
An example link: komodo:/var/www/app/0/Modules/Controller/Node/Controller_Node.class.php:1202
And if I run the command komodo /var/www/app/0/Modules/Controller/Node/Controller_Node.class.php:1202
from the terminal it works correctly; my python script simply check few things and then runs this command - but with firefox/iceweasel it never gets triggered.

No matter what I do, the browsers of my **Kali Linux VM** crash. I have tried **Firefox ESR** (**preinstalled**), **Firefox**, **Google Chrome**, and **Chromium**. In Firefox the whole browser crashes (max 1-2 mins after starting and using it) and on the chromium-based browsers only the Tabs crash, without any error message. When I start Firefox from the command line I receive this as error message, when it crashes:

Exiting due to channel error.
I use **VirtualBox** and installed Kali Linux several times with these two options (each with the settings of the Documentation):
- Using Kali Linux prebuilt Virtual Machines
- Installing the Kali Linux with an image
In the VMs I also ran:
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and I checked the browser for updates. Furthermore, many clean installations didn't work.
Of course, I have tried to look up this issue. But I didn't find anything from the last few years.
My question is what am I missing? Why does the standard browser not work on a prebuilt Virtual Machine? And why are the others also crashing? Thank you for helping me!

What is preventing Firefox from opening websites?
I have come across a strange behavior of Firefox on Ubuntu 14.04. I left office with my laptop turned on so I could listen to music. Before I left office, Firefox was working normally.

I have come across a strange behavior of Firefox on Ubuntu 14.04. I left office with my laptop turned on so I could listen to music. Before I left office, Firefox was working normally.
Now I came to library, opened my laptop and Firefox and what happened was that Firefox was unable to open any pages, including Google.com. Firefox was running smoothly, without any delays, it just returned *Server not found* on any page I tried. What I did was, as usual in such cases, restart
NetworkManager
with command
sudo killall NetworkManager
which also automatically starts NetworkManager
after it. The laptop connected to network, I relaunch Firefox and again nothing. So I ran
ps auxw | grep firefox
to see if there is some strange Firefox background process running but everything appeared as usual. I am sorry but I didn't take a screenshot, my mistake. I closed Firefox and executed ps auxw | grep firefox
again and as expected, there was only one output line like this
campovs+ 2715 0.0 0.0 5924 2196 pts/0 S+ 16:43 0:00 grep --color=auto firefox
which means that grep
was searching for firefox
.
At this point I was 100% sure there has to be something with the internet connection and not Firefox. So I decided to proceed with regular internet connection checking, that being executing
ping google.com
Packets were flying which also eliminated possible DNS errors, although I have no idea how those could happen since I haven't done anything on my laptop and the network I was connected to was *eduroam*. I ran another command
curl -v google.com
and it, as expected, returned HTML code of google.com
with last line
* Connection #0 to host google.com left intact
which basically means everything is ok. I was left out of options and I knew that restarting the laptop will almost certainly solve the problem, although I didn't even know what was causing it. I ran sudo reboot
and now Firefox is working.
**So my question is, does anyone of you know, what might cause such behavior?**

Open Firefox twice (with same profile)
There are tons of resources that tell how to run several instances of Firefox in parrallel.

There are tons of resources that tell how to run several instances of Firefox in parrallel. I can't find *any* that tells me how to configure a command (on a command line, start menu item, or panel button) so that:
- the first click opens Firefox with a predetermined profile *New Window" in Firefox, except triggered from a command line. To be explicit, I do not want to involve other profiles.
My motivation is that I have lots of desktops and lots of browser windows, and often finding that one window for the profile I want is a lot harder than to just click a button that is always going to be in the same place - on the panel.
For the first bullet, I currently use the command "firefox --no-remote -P "thisprofile" %u" and it has always worked as intended. However, for the second bullet, I invariably get the error *"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system"*.
**Clarification:** I have two panel buttons that start separate Firefox profiles. These use "firefox --no-remote -P "ThisOrThatProfile" %u". If I omit any other parameters and just supply "--new-window", it correctly starts new windows *of the default profile* (whether that profile is already running or not). The thing is, I cannot figure out how to start new windows *for specific (non-default) profiles*.

Firefox 'freezes' at arbitrary times on Debian 12

Firefox presents a reoccurring problem, where its graphical state suddenly stops updating. The browser doesn't outright crash; it's possible to e.g. switch tabs or write something, without anything happening visually. I have found that re-entering from the Activities overview updates the browser's display state to match the actions, but this behaviour is not consistent and does not fix the problem.
Everything else on my system appears to work fine when this happens, and rebooting seems to be the only way to fix it. I initially guessed it might be due to some obscure XOrg jank, but then encountered the same problem on my Thinkpad (Debian 12/KDE/Wayland).
Does anyone have any suggestions or similar experiences? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(*For reference, I'm running Firefox ESR v115.9.1 on Debian 12, with Gnome 43.9 and X11*)

I made this script to open three HTML files in Firefox from a subdirectory:
#!/bin/bash
firefox ./web/*.html 2>/dev/null & disown;
I call the bash script from the terminal. Which seems to work okay, but after doing some things in Firefox I have this message in the terminal:
$ [GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt
...which I then have to abort with Ctrl-C. Shouldn't
disown
and 2>/dev/null
have taken care of that? Is there a better way for me to do this?
FWIW, I'm using Linux Mint 21.1 and the latest Firefox.

Debian 12 (Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.90-1 (2024-05-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux)
>I am starting Firefox from a launcher in XFCE panel where it was placed automatically at installation time.
When *Firefox* is running as the default browser and I click on a link in *Thunderbird*, I **always** get the message
> Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile.
This, as well as other recommended solutions, works but is not sustainable. Having to close Firefox every time before opening a link from an email isn’t practical.
Are others experiencing the same issue?
What can be done about it?
Chromium doesn’t seem to have this problem, at least.

I want to make sure that the user isn't disturbed by a firefox update ("Pls restart Firefox"), therefore i excluded firefox* from the auto-update.
I used Ubuntu Mate 22.04 before and this script worked:
https://github.com/Linux-Installation/Linux-Mint-Installations-Script/blob/dev/download/firefoxUpdateOnShutdown.service
The Problem is that it stops in the middle of the execution:
I tested it with
ExecStart=sh -c 'apt install -y --only-upgrade firefox* > /home/jokergermany/firefoxupdateonshutdown.txt'

What I tried:
- Add a TimeoutStopSec=infinity
- Add a /etc/systemd/systemd.conf.d/60_custom.conf
with DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s
change the DefaultTimeoutStopSec
to 90s
in /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/50_linuxmint.conf
Nothing works, what do I do wrong?
Edit:
The linked duplicate don't solve my problem...
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
[Service]
ExecStart=nala install -y --download-only firefox
ExecStop=sh -c 'systemctl list-jobs | grep -q "poweroff.target.*start" && apt install -y --only-upgrade firefox*'
RemainAfterExit=true
TimeoutStopSec=infinity
[Unit]
After=network-online.target
Description=Update Firefox on Shutdown
Don't work on my notebook
I suppose it only works for fast devices, because the shutdown process isn't stopped by this systemD service =(

I reinstalled Firefox, because my profile was crashing. I backed up my
~/.mozilla
folder to some other place, uninstalled firefox and installed it again.
New firefox wasn't crashing. So I copied one of my backup up old profile to new firefox, and that profile was crashing again.
Now, I would like to use completely fresh profile and copy only the things that I need from the old profile that is crashing. Which files need I to replace? I need bookmarks (the quick access bar with bookmarks is sufficient for me and I need all the extensions with extension data). What could I also need and forget?
I want to try it, I will at least find out, if it is some extension that's causing the crashes. But, I think it is not. It starts usually when I open a new tab and the page won't load.
My OS is Lubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
. Firefox version is 112.0.2 32 bit

Each time I go to Stack Exchange I get a "Accept Cookies" choice in the lower left corner. How can I set up my browser (Firefox) to automatically either accept the cookies, or automatically answer the question for me?
I have tried Adblock Plus, and I also have uBlock installed. I was able to get the "sign in with google" prompt taken care of across websites using uBlock
||accounts.google.com/gsi/client$3p
in the My Filters tab.
Is there a solution like this for the cookies prompt in Stack Exchange?

Why don't browsers respect LC_TIME?
I'm using en_US for system language, but pl_PL for date format. It works OK in the entire system, and running `date` gives me a correctly formatted date.

I'm using en_US for system language, but pl_PL for date format. It works OK in the entire system, and running
date
gives me a correctly formatted date. It also shows Polish as Time format in the GUI Language Settings.
But in any browser (Chrome, Chromium, Firefox) I have US format! For example in Date input, Date in JS etc...
console.log(new Date().toLocaleString())
// shows 9/26/2021, 3:29:46 PM
// should be 26.09.2021, 15:29:46
locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_TIME=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_NAME=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
To reproduce this use: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_tolocalestring , or create a file called index.html
with the following contents:
Hi!
console.log(new Date().toLocaleString())
And then open this file using any value of LC_ALL
and browser combination you care to try:
LC_ALL=el_GR.utf8 firefox index.html
Then, look at the javascript console (usually available by pressing F12) and you will see the date format ignores the LC setting.
I also have en for language and pl for dates on a Windows machine and it works fine. Why can't Linux do this?
I was dealing with this for year now. All I can find in google is people with similar issue but without solution or problems with date format in system.
