Reproducible with Firefox in troubleshoot mode? about:support Reproducible with a new Firefox profile? about:profiles (In reply to david from comment #0) > … firefox-112.0_1,2 … > … https://xkcd.com/ … firefox-111 shows blank for the upper-left part of the page; … No problem with that page in Firefox from latest on CURRENT. I don't recall rendering failures with any other recent port of Firefox. % pkg iinfo firefox firefox-112.0,2 % uname -aKU FreeBSD mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #38 main-n262032-5e2e3615d91f: Fri Apr 7 18:54:28 BST 2023 grahamperrin@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG amd64 1400085 1400085 % pkg -vv | grep -e url -e enabled -e priority url : "http://pkg0.bme.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest", enabled : yes, priority : 4, url : "https://alpha.pkgbase.live/current/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest", enabled : no, priority : 0, url : "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-default", enabled : yes, priority : 3 % Yes, with an ... odd ... wrinkle: that upper-left container now displays something that looks like:

instead of either the completely blank area or what it does in chromium (or did in earlier firefox).
While I'm here, I note that the bug title/summary is wrong: it's firefox-112 that's the problem, not firefox-111. Sorry about that.
A Google search on '"firefox" "112" bug' yielded a pointer to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228268; on reading the description -- in particular: |Presently, this build of WebKitGTK is completely blank—no content or developer |tools menu elements visible—unless I select and drag something offscreen, at |which point it becomes visible until I let go of the mouse again. I tried the above (select/drag -- and sure enough, the previously-invisible components become visible, until I release mouse button #1. So maybe there's a relationship? Similar behaviour here. Very prominent example: https://forums.freebsd.org/ No text rendered at all. On links underline is shown (horizontal lines) on mouse over, tooltips shown but text missing too. Firefox started with ~/.mozilla removed, so new profile created at start. Same behaviour in Troubleshoot Mode. Firefox build from ports, portstree updated 2023-04-15 08:32, right before update of firefox (# portmaster -ayd).

It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advanced features: o Popup Blocking o Tabbed Browsing o Live Bookmarks (ie.

(In reply to Frank Reisert from comment #6) Thanks for that tip: I confirm that it works for me. Just a guess, but I've seen something in app configuration causes the rendering of text to be white, which is invisible on a white background. (In reply to Frank Reisert from comment #6) Thanks. Maybe useful in this situation: <https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/enforce-browser-fonts/> >> … Easily toggle between browser fonts and website fonts by >> clicking on addon toolbar icon or its keyboard shortcut … (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #9) Thanks. The addon works for me. (In reply to rkoberman from comment #8) It's not just white on white. More like text being transparent, regardless of the background colour. As I wrote: on https://forums.freebsd.org/ no text at all would be shown, not even text in the tooltips when mouse over links to the forums (or fora - I'm not sure about the plural). There seems to be a related bug on bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827950 I cannot make much out of it for lacking the technical background. (In reply to Frank Reisert from comment #12) Thanks for finding. <https://old.reddit.com/comments/12jm9ju/-/> and the linked bug report are enough to satisfy me that what's reported here is an upstream regression (not a bug in the port to FreeBSD). gecko@ * if I'm wrong, please correct me * <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827950#c14> the beta/release uplift approval request is low risk, I strongly suspect that uplift will precede the 2023-05-09 release of 113. <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar#Future_branch_dates> Close now? Or patch before closure? I can confirm that with the patch from https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D175391 applied onto the port, it seems to be working normally for me, several places it was definitely b0rked without it.

(In reply to Christoph Moench-Tegeder from comment #17) I can confirm that it fixes the issue for me. Thank you! (In reply to Christoph Moench-Tegeder from comment #17) I downloaded the commit, applied it to ports tree (at main-n615996-fb5dece77c99), then re-built firefox: ===>>> Upgrade of firefox-112.0.1,2 to firefox-112.0.1_1,2 complete And it works: thank you! (I checked https://xkcd.com/, which was working, then went into "Settings & re-enabled "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" under Fonts/Advanced) -- and xkcd still works. Even after a page reload.) Works for me. Thank you very much! This commit also fixes practically the opposite problem: all web pages were being rendered perfectly, but all text in menus, browser tabs, and tool tips became invisible. Thank you! (In reply to commit-hook from comment #15) Thanks! Upstream, 112.0.2: <https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/80b83057f86b> |
