Okay. I dug a bit deeper and this issue is caused by the AppArmor
profile shipped with Firefox that I have enabled. The syslog contains
following entries from AppArmor when running Firefox e10s enabled and
the firefox profile in enforce mode:
audit: type=1400 audit(1474776774.198:579): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="mknod" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}"
name="/dev/shm/org.chromium.h4apSY" pid=5022 comm=57656220436F6E74656E74
requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
audit: type=1400 audit(1474776774.222:580): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="mknod" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}"
name="/dev/shm/org.chromium.VpQMbW" pid=5022 comm=57656220436F6E74656E74
requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
So Firefox tries to access /dev/shm but the default AppArmor profile
denies it. So the profile needs to be changed to make it compatible with
e10s.
** Summary changed:
- Web pages not rendering with e10s enabled
+ Web pages not rendering with e10s enabled and AppArmor profile in enforce mode
** Description changed:
STR:
- 1. Open Firefox 49 with clean profile
+ 0. Enable enforce mode for the Firefox app-armor profile: sudo aa-enforce
usr.bin.firefox
+ 1. Open Firefox 49 with clean profile (or force-enable e10s as per
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Force_Enable and restart Firefox)
2. Go to any site
What happens: The site loads but the content is rendered blank. The page
is loaded properly since I can hover over (invisible) links and see the
cursor change & the address to be shown in the bottom of the window.
What should happen: The site is rendered properly.
- This is related to e10s and how the Ubuntu builds are configured / built:
- * If e10s is disabled, everything works fine.
- * If I download Firefox 49 release build built by Mozilla, pages are rendered
correctly with both e10s and non-e10s windows.
-
- If I execute firefox from the command line, I see the following output
repeated constantly:
- [GFX1]: Failed 2 buffer db=0 dw=0 for 1356, 0, 64, 673
- [GFX1]: Failed 2 buffer db=0 dw=0 for 0, 0, 64, 500
- ... continues forever with different coordinates
+ This is related to e10s and the default AppArmor profile shipped with
+ firefox.
See the attached screenshot for how the first-run page looks like with a
- clean profile.
+ clean profile, e10s and AppArmor enabled.
