[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
An alternate solution, which some people may find easier: This is a bug which drove me nuts for months, right from the start of intrepid. The easiest way around this is with "Custom Geometry 2.2.0" firefox plugin (google it). If you setup a geometry (in the plug preferences) with the name "Default" that is smaller than your screen resolution and with some small offsets then firefox will be forced to this size on launch instead of the dumb, massive one it some times goes to. Not an ideal solution (clearly firefox/gnome/compiz/xorg shouldn't have this behavior in the first place) however it works 100% and saves a lot of headache. -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Desktop and Firefox 3.0.4 on a Compaq Evo N600c laptop. My screen resolution is at the default 1024x768 for this machine. I am using Compiz in default configuration. I have not changed either my screen resolution or de-maximized the Firefox window, yet this problem occurs. Firefox will change its window so that the title bar disappears along with both of Ubuntu's panels. When this happens, I cannot minimize Firefox, I can only close it or quit. I can Alt-Tab to access another application in the live window. Following advice I found in another forum, I selected "F11" to toggle from full screen mode and back. This resolved the problem temporarily, but it does come back. This behavior only seems to occur with Firefox. If I use Opera, or if I am using another application, I do not seem to experience the problem. I am using Compiz in default configuration.

Firefox should not tell the window manager to put the window at (0,0) at the request of javascript, because with the width and height set ust right this triggers the "legacy fullscreen support" feature of some window managers like compiz and wmii (something javascript should not be able to do.)

Saïvann Carignan, Can you think of any reason why javascript should be able to request that the a window be places such that the top of it's content was even with the top of the screen? (And that request should be taken seriously by firefox?) Metacity ignores this request because it is unreasonable. I think firefox shouldn't be sending unreasonable requests on behalf of javascript, especially if it confuses some window managers. Firefox going fullscreen because of javascript is the result of BOTH of these: 1) Firefox requests unreasonable screen coordinates if javascript asks, including the set of coordinates specifically designed to trigger fullscreen mode. 2) Compiz and wmii (and probably others) support "legacy fullscreen support" which mean's they'll put a window into fullscreen mode if you request the exact coordinates that would have it cover the whole screen. One of those has obviously gotta give. The one that seems more like the bug to me is firefox. The "legacy fullscreen support" is there on purpose.

just on that, I have been playing around with fvwm-crystal of late, and have noticed some interesting things the bug does not show up due to the window manager putting preference of the title bar over whatever the application deems fit however, there is a "fullscreen" button on the title bar which triggers the legacy fullscreen support function to display the application fullscreen without the title bar it makes sense in that window manager for the legacy fullscreen function to exist, which fuels my agreement on having firefox correct the javascript issue javascript can be insidious, and being that firefox claims to be a more secure browser, I believe it should have built in functions to stem javascript's reign of terror :D not that the setting of 0,0 coordintates is much of a security threat, but it might be worth while for the firefox developers to see exactly what javascript can get away with however I'm sure do already -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

loftarasa : Then it might not be *only* resolution related, but here's the result of my observations and test. I have more than 10 customers that use firefox and compiz, but only one have this problem, which appears every week. His screen resolution is 1280x1024. A clean install and clean firefox profile does not fix anything. Personally, I never had this problem with 1680x1050 (the maximum resolution of my screen) and I can't reproduce the bug with that resolution, however if I change the resolution of my screen to 1280x1024 or 1024x768, I can easily reproduce it. Since this bug can also be reproduced when you open a firefox profile on a lower resolution than the last one firefox used, would it be a possible explanation that compiz uses his own way to deal with the resolution instead of working with the real used resolution and sometime assume a higher resolution than the "real" one?

Re-opening this bug as I still have it. I'm running a fully patched Hardy system. Here's how to replicate the bug. You need to have Ubuntu's "Visual Effects" enabled to trigger this. 1. Open a single instance of Firefox with no tabs open. 2. Go to http://www.htmlgoodies.com/legacy/beyond/javascript/bigsmall.html 3. Click the "Maximize" link located at the top left of this webpage. 4. Close Firefox. 5. Re-open Firefox. 6. Now the titlebar for Firefox and upper/lower panels should be missing. You will also notice that the "Edit--> Preferences" will open under the browser instead of on top as well as the "Downloads" window. To get Firefox back to "normal" you need to: 1. Press "F-11" twice. 2. Click the "Maximize" button at the top right of you Firefox Window. 3. Notice that your top panel disappears but the bottom one remains present. 4. Right click on the Firefox process within your bottom panel and click "Move" 5. With your mouse, drag the window down a bit so that you can manually resize it to your ideals. 6. Hit the "Maximize" button again and it should be back to "normal". ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK, This fixed it for me. I'm sure there are millions of ways to fix this. All I did was resize the "minimized" Firefox window. Turn on "Expo" under compiz settings.

You certainly can't run wmii with compiz - they're both window managers, and you can only run one window manager at a time. It looks like the people who have re-opened this bug are actually experiencing a Firefox bug that curiously doesn't manifest under Metacity. If I had to make a guess, I'd say it's due to differing "legacy fullscreen" support.

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
I can easily enable/disable this bug by swapping between my bad .mozilla directory and my good one. Therefore either 1) it's a firefox preference. or 2) it's a firefox bug. Now since I (the user) didn't change my preferences or install a plugin or anything (I think it was triggered by going to a site with a javascript popup of some kind) it has to be a bug. Either a bug that this preference can be set by a website's javascript, or a bug that this behavior can be enabled at all. There may also be a bug in compiz and wmii... An argument could easily be made that these window managers should be able to deal with whatever firefox is doing. Regardless of that, I think firefox shouldn't be doing whatever it's doing. For now let's keep this as a single bug report and just focus on trying to figure out what's going on. I'll run a few experiments, to see if I can locate what file/line in my bad ~/.mozilla dir is telling firefox to exhibit this annoying behavior. -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
OK, I looked through the diff between my working and buggy ~/.mozilla/firefox/ folders. I first discovered that deleting my ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/localstore.rdf fixed firefox (and deleted my toolbar customizations). Then I searched through that file and found the bit that was causing problems: I changed the X and Y to be 0 and the width and height to the size of the content area of the pane (1022x737) instead of my monitor, and replaced "maximized" with "normal". Now when I open firefox with that ~/.mozilla it works as it should. Now the really strange part... When I tried changing just the sizemode to normal, and leaving the 4 numeric settings shown above as is... it was still buggy (fullscreen).

I fired up gnome, and I'm happy to say that desktop-effects are now working on my computer (as of intrepid upgrade I assume). I have steps to reproduce this issue with compiz. This produces the fullscreen bug described in the original post for this bug report when done with desktop-effects on. When following these steps without desktop-effects (but still in gnome) then firefox behaves properly. Here's the steps: 1) [re]move your ~/.mozilla so you're starting fresh 2) start firefox 3) quit firefox (wait until it's really stopped) 4) edit your ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/localstore.rdf edit this tag: RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window" Set screenX and screenY to 0. Set "width" to the width of your screen and height to the height of your screen. In my case that was 1024 and 768 respectively. Set sizemode to "maixmized". 5) start firefox Expected result: firefox window, which is maximized, and still has it's title bar, and I can still see gnome panels.

Wahoo! We figured it out. Now what do we do about it? Makes sense to me to disable "legacy fullscreen support" by default in compiz to match metacity. If gnome's default setup doesn't support "legacy fullscreen support" (and I presume if metacity doesn't now, it probably hasn't for a long time) then I imagine most problems that normal people actually use don't need "legacy fullscreen support". I know very little about this, so I hope someone more knowledgeable can give their opinion. Also we could hack firefox so it doesn't enable javascript to set the window (x,y) to exactly (0,0). Very few window managers will let you actually position a window so the title bar is off the screen, so allowing javascript to set y coordinates like that doesn't make sense. -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

**FIX FOR THIS ISSUE** Okay... its not the proper fix, but I assume people are just going to skim over this and not identify that TURNING "LEGACY FULLSCREEN SUPPORT" IN THE COMPIZ 'WORKAROUNDS' PLUGIN OFF will cease the issue. I apologise for using big text, but I wanted to make sure that this is noticed by people skimming Obviously there needs to some kind of permanent (ie, no user interaction) fix, and as my good friend Jason Woofenden suggested, having that option disabled in compiz by default is one solution, however the issue will still remain for other window managers that use legacy fullscreen support. Having said that, I am still under the belief that firefox itself would be the most ideal place to rectify this issue due to the fact that there are a lot of window managers, and only one firefox (please no semantics about iceweasel, swiftfox, upcoming pre-betas etc) ;-) I'm not sure of the viability of, when firefox starts, it does a quick check of the window manager, and adjusts the identified settings of "localstore.rdf" accordingly I have noticed that firefox does a whole lot of work before it shows up anyway, by the huge spike in cpu load.

I agree that firefox should be fixed. Perhaps it should be fixed before the values get into localstore.rdf. I think it's absurd to let javascript set the screenY to 0 ever. Very few window managers will actually let you put the window there (because the title bar is hanging off the screen.) My suggested fix would be to hack firefox so that if javascript tries to set the screenY parameter to 0 it sets it to 1 instead.

I get this bug without gnome I'm using the wmii window manager. Firefox worked fine for months, and since intrepid upgrade.

But pressing ctrl-n in firefox to make a new window produces a new window which is fullscreen again. Last time I had this problem I deleted my entire ~/.mozilla and that fixed the problem.

The best workaround I've found for this in Firefox is to go "Edit"--> "Preferences"-->"Content"-->"Advanced JavaScript Settings"--> uncheck "Allow scripts to move or resize existing windows". This is something that we "shouldn't" have to do. But it prevents the bug from occurring.

loftarasa : Then it might not be *only* resolution related, but here's the result of my observations and test. I have more than 10 customers that use firefox and compiz, but only one have this problem, which appears every week. His screen resolution is 1280x1024. A clean install and clean firefox profile does not fix anything.

Since this bug can also be reproduced when you open a firefox profile on a lower resolution than the last one firefox used, would it be a possible explanation that compiz uses his own way to deal with the resolution instead of working with the real used resolution and sometime assume a higher resolution than the "real" one?

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
The best workaround I've found for this in Firefox is to go "Edit"--> "Preferences"-->"Content"-->"Advanced JavaScript Settings"--> uncheck "Allow scripts to move or resize existing windows". This is something that we "shouldn't" have to do. But it prevents the bug from occurring. I haven't really seen any big impacts from disabling it other than pop-ups not being the correct dimension on some sites. But it seems to be a rare side effect. I'd rather my parents use this workaround than explain to them how to recover from the bug once it occurs.

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
I get this bug without gnome I'm using the wmii window manager. Firefox worked fine for months, and since intrepid upgrade. But now every time I open a firefox window it's fullscreen... really fullscreen, as described in this bug, I see now title bars, noothing except what is normally the content area of my firefox window. If I tell wmii to remove the "fullscreen" flag from a firefox window (wmiir xwrite /client/sel/ctl Fullscreen off), it behaves as normal. But pressing ctrl-n in firefox to make a new window produces a new window which is fullscreen again. Last time I had this problem I deleted my entire ~/.mozilla and that fixed the problem. I suspect the problem (both times) was initially caused by some spammy javascript popup thing.

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
To Jason Woofenden, Just out of curiosity, since I have no experience with wmii (I assume you are using version 3 not 2), are you using compiz? Everyone who has had this bug confirms that it only appears whilst using compiz, and given this is under the compiz bug section (now. It was originally under firefox section), one would assume that you are. But it would be helpful if you could confirm this, due to the recent tendency toward javascript. -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
You certainly can't run wmii with compiz - they're both window managers, and you can only run one window manager at a time. It looks like the people who have re-opened this bug are actually experiencing a Firefox bug that curiously doesn't manifest under Metacity. If I had to make a guess, I'd say it's due to differing "legacy fullscreen" support. It might be useful for people who can reproduce this bug to attach (not inline, please!) the output of "xprop" on the firefox window. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is an interesting development, as I'm quite sure the firefox reports were all closed down and forwarded to compiz. Perhaps this was rightly placed under firefox originally.

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
I saved my ~/.mozilla directory from when this bug was driving me nuts. When I replace it, the bug is reproducible every time by opening a window. I grabbed the xprop output by typing this, hitting enter, and starting firefox: sleep 10; xprop > foo.log I did this with the .mozilla directory that exhibits the bug, and the one without. The only difference (besides the PID) was that this line was present in the buggy firefox xprops: _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ I'm attaching the output of xprop on the buggy window as an attachment. ** Attachment added: "xprop output for buggy firefox window" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19585771/launchpad_bug_99740_xprop.log -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
I can easily enable/disable this bug by swapping between my bad .mozilla directory and my good one. Therefore either 1) it's a firefox preference. or 2) it's a firefox bug. Now since I (the user) didn't change my preferences or install a plugin or anything (I think it was triggered by going to a site with a javascript popup of some kind) it has to be a bug. Either a bug that this preference can be set by a website's javascript, or a bug that this behavior can be enabled at all. There may also be a bug in compiz and wmii... An argument could easily be made that these window managers should be able to deal with whatever firefox is doing. Regardless of that, I think firefox shouldn't be doing whatever it's doing. For now let's keep this as a single bug report and just focus on trying to figure out what's going on. I'll run a few experiments, to see if I can locate what file/line in my bad ~/.mozilla dir is telling firefox to exhibit this annoying behavior. -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
OK, I looked through the diff between my working and buggy ~/.mozilla/firefox/ folders. I first discovered that deleting my ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/localstore.rdf fixed firefox (and deleted my toolbar customizations). Then I searched through that file and found the bit that was causing problems: I changed the X and Y to be 0 and the width and height to the size of the content area of the pane (1022x737) instead of my monitor, and replaced "maximized" with "normal". Now when I open firefox with that ~/.mozilla it works as it should. Now the really strange part... When I tried changing just the sizemode to normal, and leaving the 4 numeric settings shown above as is... it was still buggy (fullscreen). Could other people try changing these settings to various values in metacity and compiz and see what happens? -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
I fired up gnome, and I'm happy to say that desktop-effects are now working on my computer (as of intrepid upgrade I assume). I have steps to reproduce this issue with compiz. This produces the fullscreen bug described in the original post for this bug report when done with desktop-effects on. When following these steps without desktop-effects (but still in gnome) then firefox behaves properly. Here's the steps: 1) [re]move your ~/.mozilla so you're starting fresh 2) start firefox 3) quit firefox (wait until it's really stopped) 4) edit your ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/localstore.rdf edit this tag: RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window" Set screenX and screenY to 0. Set "width" to the width of your screen and height to the height of your screen. In my case that was 1024 and 768 respectively. Set sizemode to "maixmized". 5) start firefox Expected result: firefox window, which is maximized, and still has it's title bar, and I can still see gnome panels. Actual result with desktop-effects: window covers entire screen, covering gnome panels, and window title bar is not visible. Firefox still has all it's menu bars and toolbars visible though.

[Bug 99740] Re: Firefox problems with desktop-effects
Wahoo! We figured it out. Now what do we do about it? Makes sense to me to disable "legacy fullscreen support" by default in compiz to match metacity. If gnome's default setup doesn't support "legacy fullscreen support" (and I presume if metacity doesn't now, it probably hasn't for a long time) then I imagine most problems that normal people actually use don't need "legacy fullscreen support". I know very little about this, so I hope someone more knowledgeable can give their opinion. Also we could hack firefox so it doesn't enable javascript to set the window (x,y) to exactly (0,0). Very few window managers will let you actually position a window so the title bar is off the screen, so allowing javascript to set y coordinates like that doesn't make sense. -- Firefox problems with desktop-effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
