firefox

It's not a zombie, but I cannot kill it. Initially I quit Firefox, then tried to start it, it reported it's already running, after a while I was able to start it, however, that process remained in STOP state. I tried killing it with no luck, then it was adopted by init after I killed its...

I just found out that Firefox dropped support for RSS and Atoms feeds. At first, I wondered, if it was just Firefox on my computer or settings, that no longer handled feeds. All this time that Firefox was crashing constantly, I didn't notice it, until after I fixed that problem.

$ pkg query %v firefox firefox-i18n 62.0.3_1,1 62.0.3 I wondered whether this new extension might work: Quick Locale Switcher 0.1 – as far as I can tell, it does not. From the version information page: – given the ways in which localisation of Firefox is changing, that statement of...

Hello, when installing firefox from packages or ports you will be presented with this as part of the pkg-message. Sadly it doesn't mention something like bug numbers or anything like that so I think it's hard to act upon this if one wanted to get the hands dirty. It's also not clear where...

Hello all! I've just installed FreeBSD 11.2-PRERELEASE, and I'm learning to use synth... So, after a portsnap fetch update, I am trying to build firefox 60.0.1 with sndio. Then I would do a simple "make config", enable sndio option and disable alsa, jack and pulseaudio. And, indeed, if I "make...

This topic really needs an up-to-date, comprehensive How-To. Font rendering in Firefox is hideous. The webfonts pkg does not change it and every suggestion I've found does not work. Chromium looks fine. Can anyone advise how to fix this and get font rendering for Firefox working as it should be?

Hello all, I am trying to make use of the jails to run instances of a selenium/firefox app. To make Firefox run "headlessly", I am using XVFB (yes I do know that PhantomJS exists. This is testing a Firefox extension, so it really needs to be firefox) Currently, it works fine if I manually log...

Soo... I finally gave-up, and installed Poudrière, and it took over 12 hours, it it managed to compile Firefox without a hitch; however, when trying to visit some sites like Google, Youtube, Bing, and Facebook, Firefox displays an error page that says: An immediate fix for this is to go to...

Greetings, BSDers. In the verge of migrating to a FreeBSD desktop enviroment, I'm looking for some advice about what software is recommended that follow these principles: -"Do one thing and do it well." (The core in UNIX philosophy) -Have a BSD/MIT or any other permissive license. Even if I'm...

Is there a Firefox sync server available for FreeBSD? Anything in ports? I heard of www/weave, but it seems to no longer be in ports or even exist anymore upstream. There is also syncserver. I got it to work on Ubuntu (which it was written for), but it failed to build on FreeBSD. I would not...

To any user of -RELEASE who has locked www/firefox in the past: in your experience, what types of dependency issue arose as the weeks or months passed? Re https://pastebin.com/biRRGHCD line 140 I imagine that it's prudent to also lock www/flashplayer. (-CURRENT in that paste, but the essence...

Firefox on my computer expresses a weird UI issue where many controls are rendered without their borders. For example, radios or checkboxes can be selected but are invisible, since they have no border. Also selecting text doesn't highlight the selected part of the text. I can select and copy the...

Hello all, At irregular intervals I have this problem of www/firefox (compiled from ports) closing unexpectedly. It happens across all four Firefox profiles. After it closes I can find a 'firefox.core' file in various directories. When I launch Firefox from the shells/fish shell and the process...

Here is an annoying bug in Firefox: when I click on the "close tab" button, sometimes Firefox crashes (or performs an unclean shutdown, because on restart it asks to restore windows and tabs). Has anyone else seen this bug? Details: - discovered after I upgraded Firefox to 51.0.1_2,1 (I'm pretty...
