I restored my tabs from my previous session, and _none of them_ displayed any content. The tabs included pins, regular sites, and extension dialogs (specifically, a couple of instances of the LastPass 2FA prompt). Further to that, Firefox menus also wouldn't display; either via right-click on tabs, or via the "hamburger" menu in the top-right. (I could still close tabs via Ctrl-W for non-pinned tabs, or via middle- click for pinned tabs.) favicons were displayed correctly, and I confirmed that the pages were actually being fetched from the remote sites because I typed the address for a page I know redirects and the redirect happened (specifically, "!g foo" in my address bar caused DuckDuckGo to redirect me to Google). Restarting the browser did not fix this. Closing all of my tabs and restarting the browser did not fix this. Closing all of my tabs and restarting the browser, however, _did_ allow the Firefox menus to render (provided I didn't try to open any web pages before using them), which allowed me to switch "Enhanced Tracking Protection" from Strict to Standard, fixing the problem. (This is the second time I've experienced this exact behaviour, which is how I knew to try modifying the tracking protection setting. The last time was on an older version of Firefox in August: https://wrestle.town/@Odd_Bloke/102655281770357045) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: firefox 72.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1 Uname: Linux 5.4.5-050405-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu16 Architecture: amd64 BuildID: 20200117190643 Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: i3 Date: Tue Feb 4 13:01:53 2020 Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing ForcedLayersAccel: False IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-05-07 (273 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190210) Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing MostRecentCrashID: bp-94f8002b-6eb0-4faf-98c0-257a62150805 PrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:724 PrefSources: prefs.js Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=72.0.2/20200117190643 (In use) RunningIncompatibleAddons: False SourcePackage: firefox Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2019-11-15 (80 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 01/25/2019 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: F4 dmi.board.asset.tag: Default string dmi.board.name: B450M DS3H-CF dmi.board.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. dmi.board.version: x.x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Default string dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Default string dmi.chassis.version: Default string dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrF4:bd01/25/2019:svnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:pnB450MDS3H:pvrDefaultstring:rvnGigabyteTechnologyCo.,Ltd.:rnB450MDS3H-CF:rvrx.x:cvnDefaultstring:ct3:cvrDefaultstring: dmi.product.family: Default string dmi.product.name: B450M DS3H dmi.product.sku: Default string dmi.product.version: Default string dmi.sys.vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
