Is this a known bug? Are there any other graphical (i.e., non-text-mode) browsers I can use instead? I can use elinks for most things, but it’s a lot harder to configure cups printers when you don’t have a graphical browser! This is a known bug which has reported upstream. I don’t have the bug number at hand at the moment. I have been trying to debug it but I was unsuccessful so far. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1405062 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1466567 Adrian bugid : 1405062 An interesting thing: the only architecture where we see this has pagesize of 64k (may be just a coincidence though). I have pagesize 4096 bytes here so I could see what happens. nix$ uname -a Linux nix 4.18.5-genunix #1 SMP Sat Aug 25 16:18:55 GMT 2018 ppc64 GNU/Linux nix$ getconf PAGESIZE 4096 nix$ su - Password: root@nix:~# apt-get install firefox Reading package lists...

Subject line "G5 fans run out of control" didn't seem reasonable for a browser problem. Anyways .. I'll poke at that patch from Linus .. for fun. Dennis
