I am not sure if your question really concerns FVWM ... anyhow it is one and half year I abandoned Firefox in favour of Pale Moon (see my signature) which is how Firefox used to be, and more, and has a very responsing forum and supporting community ! -- Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html Do not like Firefox >=29 ?

However, since it occurs only with that app, and since that app is java -- the original Mr. Doesn't Play Well with Others -- my careless assumption has always been that java was probably the cause, not FVWM or some interaction between the two. (I've never run this app under any window manager other than FVWM, so can't supply any comparitive info.) I would be glad to know if there is some config tweak within FVWM that could work around this issue, it's a pita. More detail on my app behavior if it is of interest, just ask and I will describe the behavior in more detail. Glenn

Hi, No such problem here. Firefox 44.0.2. Fedora 22. Have you run Firefox from the command line looking for any error messages it might be throwing? -- Dan Espen
