Hi

20th April 2023
I am typing this on brave-browser....starting it by terminal it shows some issues but fonts and forum are showing correctly.
So I guess the issue is with firefox.

in FF launching by command I get

--- Code: ---[ERROR glean_core] Error setting metrics feature config: Json(Error("EOF while parsing a value", line: 1, column: 0))
--- End code ---

Looking at recent updates, at this website, I can spot libfastjson....but I do not have it installed and using Apps recently I would have remembered seeing this as updates were done yesterday.

from memory I updated
libevdev, libinput, dhcp, libnghttp2

If I go to TC forum, a number of blocks of fonts are not showing. I did not change any fonts lately. I did check that my preferred fonts were installed and also changed from one set to another, exit and restarted FF with similar results.

A little disturbing is yahoo mail is missing folder names on Left hand side like...spam and my storage names and right hand side has emails with "empty" subject names

so anyone got similar errors for firefox?

thanks for reading

ctor:
Yes. I see the same issue with missing text when using juno e-mail.
Further, I get the same exact Json error message you do.
I don't see it on other sites that I visit with firefox though.

I use the firefox_getLatest script. The issue has occurred with the last two updates.

Would love to know a soution.

I am using Tiny Core 32-bit version 10.1. Haven't tried any other versions.

regards,
ctor

The error message suggests it's encountering an End Of File marker at the beginning
of a file. That suggests to me that it is trying to read an empty file, though a file
name is not mentioned.

Or maybe a setting in  about:config  does not have a value set. Maybe a setting
called  metrics ?

ctor:
There is a -m option to firefox_getLatest script. You can use it to revert to an older version of firefox.
Version 112.0.1 of firefox exhibits the issue. Version 107.0.1 does not. I haven't tested any other versions.


--- Code: ---firefox_getLatest -m
--- End code ---

I know it is an ugly fix -- you get the 'Update available' nagging pop-up. Hopefully, it is temporary.
As mentioned, I am using Tiny Core 32-bit 10.1 version.

a few links witch mention the above error message
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/12lugf1/glean_core_and_vaapi_fail/
https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.bugs.dist/c/i1EfuKH5qD8
the latter mentions

--- Quote ---temporarily forced 'browser.display.use_document_fonts' to '0' in
order to work around this issue
