1849545 - [flatpak] Firefox shows empty window when launched and needs 2-3 relaunches to work

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Ilgaz Öcal]

Attachment: aboutsupport.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Mozilla Firefox flatpak (flathub)
2. (related?) enter these commands to have Firefox run in wayland instead of X.
   sudo flatpak override --socket=wayland org.mozilla.firefox
   sudo flatpak override --env MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 org.mozilla.firefox

Actual results:

It shows an empty tab, not attempting to load anything. Other tabs may also crash when they are clicked. If you close and launch Firefox several times, it begins to function normally.

Expected results:

It should render the last visited page and function.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

update: When you launch it clicking its icon on the desktop, it functions normally. When you launch it via clicking a link (e.g. this bugzilla url) from an application, it shows a new, empty tab and doesn't work at all.

Thanks for the report. Is Wayland or X11 version broken here?

Can you test plain mozilla binaries?

Thanks.

Apologies for forgetting this bug open. It seems to have been fixed with recent flatpak updates of Firefox and I can't reproduce. Thank you for caring.
