firefox 64.0.2 error in tc10

[AlejandroPadrino]

hello, I found an error using firefox 64.0.2 in tc10.  Configuring firefox to choose where saving files manually, firefox crash before selecting folder to save the file.  :-(

Hello AlejandroPadrino

I think your file manager might be the culprit, having said that you're also using an older version of Firefox. 

I'm using latest Firefox, SpaceFM and GTK3 and am not experiencing this problem

Try also updating all your extensions

Code: [Select]

tce-update

That could also be the gtk theme gradient tinyX incompatibility. Try Xorg.

I had a similar problem with the latest firefox and tc10.  When I tried to add an attachment to gmail, firefox crashed when I hit the browse button.  Switched to xorg....PROBLEM SOLVED.  Thanks ..curaga

[gwalther]

Responded a little to quickly.  Switching to Xorg solved my attachment problem when clicking on browse button, but did not solve the crash when clicking on the ..browse..button when trying to set folder for saving downloads.

Hi gwalther
If you start  firefox  from the command line maybe it will provide some error messages when it crashes.

[gwalther]

Tried from terminal, but crashes out to prompt...no messages when I click on browse button to set download location.  Same behavior with flwm_topside and JWM.

Hi gwalther
Do any error messages show in  dmesg  after the crash:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -n 25

While i cannot remember any details, this error does seem to be vaguely familiar..   So I installed firefox v64.0.2 running Xvesa on TC-10

starting firefox from the terminal I receive this error when attempting to navigate the filesystem.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ firefox
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":0.0".

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment

Maybe I've not seen this "GDK" error recently as I've been using Xorg for so long,  I've reported the error to Mozilla though it looks like the known issue reported earlier in this thread. 

Meanwhile navigating with intent to upload might be an issue with Xvesa.  Here's a workaround for downloading
Open Firefox and enter " about:preferences " in address bar
then specify your desired location to receive downloads at "Save files to"


Ok, back to firefox v65.0.1
good luck

Is there any progress on this issue?  I've had this problem since about firefox v52 on tc 7.2 if I recall well (now at v60esr on tc 9, working on update to tc 10). Same observations: no error on cmd line (vanished magically with a firefox update), no hint from dmesg, tried Xorg without success.  Download workaround works around, but occasionally it would be helpful to be able to upload a file.

The "XInputExtension" missing on display ":0.0" error indicates a problem with Xvesa that should be solved by moving to Xorg-7.7

[udo]

Hi Juanito, wow, thanks for the swift reaction!

The "XInputExtension" missing on display ":0.0" error indicates a problem with Xvesa that should be solved by moving to Xorg-7.7

Unfortunately, Xorg-7.7 didn't resolve the problem for me - however, I was also not able to reproduce this error message.
I think the problem occurred with the move to gtk3 (as many posts on the web also suggest).

Ok, sorry, my wrapper swallowed the error messages:

Code: [Select]

Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":0.0".

(firefox:11629): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'user-home-symbolic-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme

You could try loading the adwaita-icon-theme and gsettings-desktop-schemas extensions.

Edit: Did you exit to the console prompt and "startx" after loading Xorg-7.7?

Fab, thanks a lot - these suggestions did the trick.

You could try loading the adwaita-icon-theme and gsettings-desktop-schemas extensions.

Loaded the following combination (and restarted X, of course ;-)

Code: [Select]

Xorg-7.7
gsettings-desktop-schemas

[udo]

The issue is back with an update to TC 15.0 on x86_64 (TinyCorePure64-15.0) and using Firefox 115.9.1esr (64-bit) - opening a file dialog in an attempt to save an image firefox terminates with the following error messages:

Code: [Select]

The same issue occurs with other programs using gtk3, e.g., obsidian and nightly of the firefox-ESR extension.

I am running Xorg 7.7 with adwaita-icon-theme and gsettings-desktop-schemas extensions loaded.

If I recall solution attempts from 5 years back correctly, I also changed permissions on some system files - but forgot which those files were...

Does anybody have the same problem?
Can anybody remind me of which files to change permissions on to resolve the problem?

Cheers, udo.

P.S.: Interestingly, the context menu in firefox is also displaced to way off the position I would expect it at.
