Anyone noticed Firefox unresponsive when trying to close a tab or clicking the padlock icon? I am using F42 and firefox 138.0.1 . Aside from these issues, the page loads, clicking around the page works too. You can open new tabs, but you cannot close existing ones…

same F42 and firefox/librewolf 138.0.1
problem; cant close tabs, cant options , cant bar address

I will try using X11 for test
Not seen this issue myself. Maybe its related to your hardware or workload?
Could you post the output of inxi -Fxzz
please?
You will need to install inxi.
I confirm the same console message as above. As for my setup
$ inxi -Fxzz

Can you still close the tab with control+w when that happens?
Does it help if you jump to a different workspace and back? Or if you zoom out to desktop and back with the super key>
I tested firefox running with gpu support. Same thing. My nvidia is using the rpmfusion drivers and still working after update from what I see. So its not the gpu.
Switching workplaces does not solve the problem.
I can still right click and choose close, or I can use ctrl+w as you noticed and it works. But i cannot right click the padlock icon and choose delete cookies for example… It could be that this is an application issue and I must report it on mozzila’s website. Just wanted to be sure other people had the same issue before I do so.
Your hardware looks fine. I wonder if your browsing is using up all the memory and that you are waiting to page in the tab you want to close.
When this happens next run a free -h
and see if lots of “Swap:” is being used.
to update the last thing I did was to reinstall mesa* libdrm* and the problem seems to be solved everything started after installing the rpmfusion…
Yes, I’m experiencing the same issue. At random times Fx becomes unresponsive. The only way to recover is either to close Fx and restart or kill the process. If you open a bug can you post it here? Thanks!
Only the UI is locked for whatever reasons. FF still responds to keyboard shortcuts.
Use Ctrl + t to open a new tab, then detach this tab with the mouse. Usually this will unfreze the UI.
Same thing with Firefox from Flathub. I am using Silverblue.
Firefox Bug 1963627
That worked for me. Thanks! Hope they fix this soon, it is really annoying. I’m going to try disable tabs.group and see if that helps.
Update: Disabling tabs.group didn’t help.
