I use Firefox in Ubuntu (actually, Zorin). FF doesn't start correctly intermittently (greyed out; can't get URLs). But it works if I log out & back in. Ideas?
The clue is that it works without a hitch when this flares up by simply logging out then back in.
I'm new to Ubuntu. I'm actually using the Zorin fork of Ubuntu, which uses a Gnome rather than Unity interface. But for all practical purposes, it's Ubuntu I'm Firefoxing with as an Ubuntu newbie.

Be aware that Ubuntu builds its own version of Firefox from source code, so there are some differences between their version and the Linux version that Mozilla builds and distributes. http://ubuntuforums.org/
Just a SWAG:
See if disabling Use hardware acceleration when available helps with that fault.

Thank you kindly for the response. I use the Linux version. I tried those preference tweaks, including the the proxy, IPv6 & disablePrefetch as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can to no avail. BTW, when it flares up, even about:config & preferences are grey-out/inaccessible.
THE GOOD NEWS: upon closer examination, I was able to get this error info to relay:
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:22345): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :1 [Parent 22275, Gecko_IOThread] WARNING: pipe error: Broken pipe: file /build/firefox-CIsUqV/firefox-60.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 709 [Parent 22275, Gecko_IOThread] WARNING: FileDescriptorSet destroyed with unconsumed descriptors: file /build/firefox-CIsUqV/firefox-60.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/file_descriptor_set_posix.cc, line 22
I got that by entering
firefox -P
at the command prompt, then "start Firefox".
It then complained at me things like:
[Parent 22732, Gecko_IOThread] WARNING: pipe error (105): Connection reset by peer: file /build/firefox-CIsUqV/firefox-60.0.2+build1/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 353
Then that

I'm not sure, but I'm hoping that https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/issues/388 has a working fix:
workaround is to disable remote autostart: in: about:config set (historical mode):
browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false <--------------------------- <--------- (also browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false if applicable)
So far, so good. I don't understand why it works, but would like to know. I know it's common enough of a problem, somebody someday may see this and benefit from it.
If it flares up again, I'll come crying back here and strike that.
Happy Fourth!
