after updating firefox to version 97, i have issues with loading some websites, with new reddit for example, only part of the website is loaded and i can't scroll to the bottom, looking into the console, i get this error

Uncaught (in promise) 
Exception { name: "NS_ERROR_FAILURE", message: "", result: 2147500037, filename: "https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Chat~Governance~Reddit.7d719caf51b6acac1623.js", lineNumber: 1, columnNumber: 0, data: null, stack: "de@https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Chat~Governance~Reddit.7d719caf51b6acac1623.js:1:556231\nue@https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Chat~Governance~Reddit.7d719caf51b6acac1623.js:1:556381\npt@https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Chat~Governance~Reddit.7d719caf51b6acac1623.js:1:560013\ninitialize@https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Chat~Governance~Reddit.7d719caf51b6acac1623.js:1:491822\npreRender@https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Reddit.6f239dde418379a3b203.js:1:555273\n$@https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/Chat~Governance~Reddit.7d719caf51b6acac1623.js:1:141776\n" }

looking into firefox subreddit, it seems some people are dealing with the same issue https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/sp61p8/firefox_wont_work_properly/

using mozregression to bisect this, i get Bug 1735713

if i move firefox profile to /tmp folder and run it from there. i don't get this issue.

not sure if this related but if i run df -h in my system, i get

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
dev             3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev
run             3.9G  948K  3.9G   1% /run
/dev/sda2        64Z   64Z  115G 100% /

tmpfs           788M  8.0K  788M   1% /run/user/1000

though /dev/sda2 shows 100% usage, it still has some free space.

/dev/sda2 64Z 64Z 115G 100% /

64Z ???

If that translates into something really big, then we may be hitting this: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/94d7c959115c03ea1e9406d6105b36cabe63775d/xpcom/io/nsLocalFileUnix.cpp#1514

it is ZettaByte

Comment 3

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

Yeah, but what kind of drive is it ?

Comment 4

[ray]

it is a normal hard disk drive, i think it has to do with the way i reinstalled arch, i removed one partition and then extended the root partition, so it could be a bug.

i am going to close this, i reinstalled arch and that fixed the issue for me.
The person in reddit who reported this doesn't seem to suffer from the same issue and he was able to fix his issue by refreshing firefox.
this bug could help someone who deals with the same issue as me.
