Public bug reported: Firefox 87 by Ubuntu in plasma Wayland 21.04 is not responsive when typing in the address bar or text boxes.
I am trying to type a URL in the address bar or text for searching. I will only let me type 2 or 3 characters of text then it seems to lock up. Can't even select text with a mouse. I think it is doing this in the background but doesn't display on screen as me doing anything. I don't have this issue with the Firefox which I downloaded directly from Mozilla. Furthermore, I just unzip the file and run the Firefox bin file. If I run Ubuntu Firefox in x11 I don't have these issues. Running firefox from terminal gives them message (firefox:74754): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 21:15:01.027: gdk_wayland_window_set_dbus_properties_libgtk_only: assertion 'GDK_IS_WAYLAND_WINDOW (window)' failed I get the same message even in safemode and the same issues. cpu is between 5% and 30% with firefox ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: firefox 87.0+build3-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-14.15-generic 5.11.12 Uname: Linux 5.11.0-14-generic x86_64 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu65 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: kiwilinux 51325 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: kiwilinux 51325 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20210318103112 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Tue Apr 20 20:16:44 2021 DefaultProfileExtensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) DefaultProfileLocales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing DefaultProfilePrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:352 DefaultProfilePrefSources: /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/all-ubuntumate.js prefs.js DefaultProfileThemes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing ForcedLayersAccel: False InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-09-30 (567 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Beta amd64 (20190926.2) Profile0Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile0IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) Profile0Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile0PrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:352 Profile0PrefSources: /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/all-ubuntumate.js prefs.js Profile0Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile2Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile2IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) Profile2Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile2PrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:352 Profile2PrefSources: /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/all-ubuntumate.js prefs.js Profile2Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profiles: Profile1 (Default) - LastVersion=75.0/20200403170909 (Out of date) Profile0 - LastVersion=87.0/20210318103112 Profile2 - LastVersion=88.0/20210415204500 (Out of date) RebootRequiredPkgs: linux-image-5.11.0-16-generic linux-base RunningIncompatibleAddons: False SourcePackage: firefox UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to hirsute on 2021-04-17 (2 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 09/22/2020 dmi.bios.release: 5.14 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: FX505DV.311 dmi.board.asset.tag: ATN12345678901234567 dmi.board.name: FX505DV dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. dmi.board.version: 1.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. dmi.chassis.version: 1.0 dmi.ec.firmware.release: 15.0 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrFX505DV.311:bd09/22/2020:br5.14:efr15.0:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnTUFGamingFX505DV_FX505DV:pvr1.0:rvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:rnFX505DV:rvr1.0:cvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:ct10:cvr1.0: dmi.product.family: TUF Gaming dmi.product.name: TUF Gaming FX505DV_FX505DV dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. modified.conffile..etc.default.apport: # set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it # you can temporarily override this with # sudo service apport start force_start=1 enabled=0 mtime.conffile..etc.default.apport: 2019-10-22T20:48:03.215408 ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug hirsute wayland-session -- 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/1925152 Title: firefox not responsive when typing in address bar or web based search box Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Firefox 87 by Ubuntu in plasma Wayland 21.04 is not responsive when typing in the address bar or text boxes.
