[Solved] Firefox recent updates fail to render some pages correctly

<< < (2/2)

CNK:

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

--- End quote ---

The error claims to come from "glean_core", which is part of the Glean "telemetry" system in Firefox, and collects "metrics". It sounds like the problem is part of Glean's initialisation, which shouldn't have anything to do with fonts. Try starting Firefox in a new profile and see whether either problem still happens.

I haven't noticed either issues myself, but I'm using the current Firefox ESR release. You don't say, but I'm assuming that you're using the current stable release (112.0.1).

WOW thankyou for all for all comments and suggestions.

my fault I forgot to mention I am on FF v 112.01

Hi mocore
firstly the reddit post main issue IMHO was glxtest which is related to Xorg and my Xorg is all good thanks to Juanito Xorg related updates
the debian bug post....describes the issue correctly

Hi Rich, due to debian info I found a simple solution but I did click into some files but did not see anything I could report at this stage

Hi CNK, found a solution so did not need to try new profile at this stage

aus9:
my solution

Having seen the font issue....what I did was go into Settings -> (already at General setting) -> scroll down to fonts
click on Advanced button

If you had an issue like mine.....the box was checked for

--- Quote ---Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above
--- End quote ---

assuming the fonts you select are loaded

Uncheck that box please.....Click OK and pages will render correctly

Bonus, no need to restart FF.

Hi Rich

Can you mark this post as solved please,
at your discretion can you change subject to something like

You can disable the nag:

There is a similar fix to stop Thunderbird from nagging:
