Public bug reported: Firefox 87.0 on Kubuntu 21.04 Beta running on Xorg seems to have broken WebGL. Tested using https://get.webgl.org on fresh a Firefox profile. I found the following in the console output:
`[GFX1-]: glxtest: Could not connect to wayland socket` and this seems to be the cause of the problem - due to failing glxtest, all additional HW acceleration is disabled as seen by `FEATURE_FAILURE_GLXTEST_FAILED` in all `gfx.blacklist` entries in about:config. The binary release downloaded from Mozilla (https://download- installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/87.0/linux-x86_64/en- US/firefox-87.0.tar.bz2) does *not* show the same behaviour - WebGL is working just fine. ``` Description: Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (development branch) Release: 21.04 firefox: Installed: 87.0+build3-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 87.0+build3-0ubuntu2 ``` ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.04 Package: firefox 87.0+build3-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-13.14-generic 5.11.7 Uname: Linux 5.11.0-13-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu61 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: woody 1838 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20210318103112 Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri Apr 9 01:40:17 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: prefs.js DefaultProfileThemes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox ForcedLayersAccel: False InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-04-05 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Beta amd64 (20210331.1) IpRoute: default via 192.168.184.1 dev wlp0s20f3 proto dhcp metric 600 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlp0s20f3 scope link metric 1000 192.168.184.0/24 dev wlp0s20f3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.184.198 metric 600 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: 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: prefs.js Profile2Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile3Extensions: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile3IncompatibleExtensions: Unavailable (corrupt or non-existant compatibility.ini or extensions.sqlite) Profile3Locales: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profile3PrefErrors: Unexpected character ',' before close parenthesis @ /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja:greprefs.js:352 Profile3PrefSources: prefs.js Profile3Themes: extensions.sqlite corrupt or missing Profiles: Profile3 - LastVersion=87.0/20210318103112 Profile1 (Default) - LastVersion=87.0/20210318103112 Profile0 - LastVersion=87.0/20210318103112 (In use) Profile2 - LastVersion=87.0/20210318103112 RunningIncompatibleAddons: False SourcePackage: firefox UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 12/07/2020 dmi.bios.release: 1.15 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: N2WET25W (1.15 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20U9CTO1WW dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: SDK0J40697 WIN dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: None dmi.ec.firmware.release: 1.8 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrN2WET25W(1.15):bd12/07/2020:br1.15:efr1.8:svnLENOVO:pn20U9CTO1WW:pvrThinkPadX1CarbonGen8:rvnLENOVO:rn20U9CTO1WW:rvrSDK0J40697WIN:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNone: dmi.product.family: ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 dmi.product.name: 20U9CTO1WW dmi.product.sku: LENOVO_MT_20U9_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug hirsute -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1923116 Title: Broken WebGL in Firefox 87.0 on Kubuntu 21.04 Beta (Xorg) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1923116/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
