1076795 - [e10s] Unable to load pages in a new tab

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Hannes Verschore [:h4writer]]

Since two or three days (I think) I'm unable to navigate sites using e10s. I can open a new tab using ctrl+t and this page load, but after typing the url and pressing enter, nothing happens. The page doesn't load.
The first page happily works to navigate sites.

STR:
1) Open firefox (with e10s enabled)
2) Press ctrl+T (for a new tab)
3) Press ctrl+L (to get to location bar)
4) Type a website and enter

What should happen:
The website is loaded

What happens:
Nothing.


Note: there must be something in my profile, since a new profile fixes it. Now it might be good to investigate what exactly.

1) I have no addons enabled
2) All my plugins are "ask to activate", except Flash and OpenH264
3) I don't know how to get a list of non-default about:config items.

Is there anything in the browser console that looks suspect?

Error:
> console.error: 
>   Message: Unix error 13 during operation open on file /home/h4writer/.mozilla/firefox/1fljpgxj.test/sessionstore.js (Permission denied)

Root had taken over the file:
> $ ls -al /home/h4writer/.mozilla/firefox/1fljpgxj.test/sessionstore.js
> -rw------- 1 root root 39590 Sep 29 16:57 /home/h4writer/.mozilla/firefox/1fljpgxj.test/sessionstore.js

So fixed by doing this:
> $ chown /home/h4writer/.mozilla/firefox/1fljpgxj.test/sessionstore.js

Now why would not being able to read this file give such problems?

Not sure how your session store file access rights got set incorrectly. Doesn't sound like a firefox or e10s bug though, please reopen if you disagree.
