[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1989821] Re: Firefox hangs, unable to reload tabs for up to 2min after switching to session that was idle for several hours
I've discovered the source of the problem. Both user accounts on the system had hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox. Apparently, only one session can utilize the GPU/hw acceleration at a time, and so when switching between accounts, the firefox process gets suspended in some manner. That explains the significant delay in Firefox responsiveness when "resuming" the previous session. By unchecking "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Firefox settings, followed by a Firefox restart, the problem has gone away. I find it a bit puzzling that more people are not experiencing this. I would think that the number of Ubuntu installations using xorg with multiple desktop user sessions that also use Firefox with hardware acceleration would not be insignificant. I suppose there could be a bug here if my conclusions are completely wrong, and firefox should better handle this. I don't know enough about xorg/hw acceleration/gpus to say for sure, so I will leave it to someone who does. For me, though, the problem is resolved and I hope this helps someone in the future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1989821 Title: Firefox hangs, unable to reload tabs for up to 2min after switching to session that was idle for several hours Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I am not sure when exactly this started.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1989821] Re: Firefox hangs, unable to reload tabs for up to 2min after switching to session that was idle for several hours
I installed firefox-104.0.2 from upstream, and set both users' desktop environments to use that one instead of the Ubuntu bundled version. I didn't know how firefox handles profiles with different versions of the browser installed, so I (perhaps unnecessarily) cleaned out ~/.mozilla for both accounts. After a few weeks of testing it out, with the same desktop usage habits (switching between accounts and such), I did not find any discernible improvement in the problematic behavior (nor did I see a worsening of the behavior). I've since reverted my configuration back to using the bundled browser. I'm open to try other experiments. I'm thinking of trying an upstream version that is old enough to predate this issue, which as I initially reported might be around the 99 timeframe. Another idea is an OS upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1989821 Title: Firefox hangs, unable to reload tabs for up to 2min after switching to session that was idle for several hours Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am not sure when exactly this started.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1830416] [NEW] Firefox shows multiple master password prompts on startup when user has multiple home tabs that require passwords
Public bug reported: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS I have two URLs configured for Firefox startup. They are for different sites. Each one will go to a login page. I have a master password configured in Firefox. When I start Firefox, two tabs will open to the two URLs, and up until recently, I was prompted once for my master password. Once I entered it, my credentials would auto-fill on both tabs as expected. Today I noticed that on Firefox startup, I was getting two master password prompts. Although entering the master password for one would suffice, it is annoying to have to close out the second one. Also, the second one often pops up and steals focus from the first when I am entering the master password (depending on the relative page load times of the two tabs). I was running Firefox 66.0.5+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 when I first noticed this. I updated to 67.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 and the problem persists.

Once I entered it, my credentials would auto-fill on both tabs as expected. Today I noticed that on Firefox startup, I was getting two master password prompts. Although entering the master password for one would suffice, it is annoying to have to close out the second one.
[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1796773] [NEW] Firefox homepage setting lost, changed to "about:blank" after update from 16.04 to 18.04.1

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1586528] Re: Avahi-daemon withdraws address record
I am having the same issue, not in a VM. Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. eth0 is a wired network controller. I've attached a tar file containing: - relevant syslog messages - output of 'ethtool eht0' - output of 'ethtool -i eth0' - output of 'lspci -vvv' I'm not sure what other information would be relevant but am happy to provide it on request, either when the system is in the problem state or otherwise. I recover the situation by clicking the "Wired connection 1" in the network indicator panel. Clearly there are at least 3 problems here: 1. The network connection is lost 2. There is no reason given for the loss of connection 3. The connection is not automatically recovered ** Attachment added: "Output of various commands" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1586528/+attachment/4855862/+files/command_output.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586528 Title: Avahi-daemon withdraws address record Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For some reason, if I leave my Ubuntu VM up for a prolonged period of time the machine will lose connection to the network. ip addr shows that the nic port no longer has an address and an examination of the syslog shows this: May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Withdrawing address record for 10.0.2.15 on enp0s3.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1301447] [NEW] evince displays only first page of certain PDFs
Public bug reported: I have recently found that evince 3.6.1 (3.6.1-1ubuntu) will only display the first page of certain PDF files. I can open the files in Adobe Reader XI under Windows 7 Enterprise. In this manner I can confirm that the documents have more than one page. Evince properly handles the majority of PDF documents that I come across. It appears that the files that evince thinks have only 1 page are PDF version 1.7 according to file(1). Here is an example. The Manuals for HP 6125XLG Ethernet Blade Switch document listing [1] on hp.com lists several PDF files. HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Installation Guide [2] opens correctly and evince shows it has 33 pages (which Adobe Reader agrees with).
