[SOLVED] White stripe in Firefox

Rafa18 · 2021-06-18 15:14:41

Hello everybody.

I have a problem with the latest version of firefox.

It turns out that a white stripe appears along the top of the window, in all websites I visit:

Which disappears when I go into full screen mode by pressing the F11 key:

Uninstalling all program extensions did not solve the problem. In other way in an attempt to solve the problem I have deleted the ~/.mozilla folder and the program returns to factory settings but the problem continues.

I have the computer completely upgraded and it is the only program that gives me this problem.

I do not know what it can be.

If I downgrade the firefox package, it gives me an error in the user database so I would lose all the configuration, at now is the only way.

It might work if I didn't mind losing program settings, bookmarks, certificates, extensions, etc. but I don't like the idea of having to do it because the problem reappears when I update the system and therefore firefox too.

Another way can be block the program update indefinitely and asume reconfigure all but does not seem right to me.

Well, toggle gfx.webrender.force-disabled from false to true in about:config solved the problem but I have also upgraded/switched fluxbox to fluxbox-git as commented in the thread and now I have a new problem:

The taskbar does not display correctly, it stays a little below the edge of the screen.

Here you can see you can see the maximize, full screen, etc. buttons above the taskbar.:

And I can't find a way to place it correctly.

My fluxbox init file is:

Apparently everything is correct and as far as I know fluxbox does not have any option to place the taskbar away from the edge of the screen..

Any idea what might be wrong with this?

And another thing, once fluxbox-git is installed, changing gfx.webrender.force-disabled back to false makes the problem with Firefox reappear.

So changing from fluxbox to fluxbox-git does not solve the problem with Firefox but How can I fix the problem with fluxbox-git?

Wasn't suspected - the original problem is entirely within the realm of the Proton UI.

The fluxbox toolbar looks suspiciously embedded into the firefox window - what does it look like when FF isn't maximized?

No, the fluxbox taskbar is not embedded in the firefox windows, the taskbar it is displayed above the windows just in that position.

It doesn't matter which program I use, any program stays below the taskbar and if I move any window them I can see them move in that space between the taskbar and the edge of the screen.

I have decided to forget this and reinstall the package fluxbox "no git version" then set gfx.webrender.force-disabled to true in Firefox about:config and thus terminate the problem.

Everything works fine this way and I don't want any more complications with this.

Thank you for your help.

You got it from here: https://github.com/fluxbox/fluxbox ?

session.screen0.toolbar.height:	0
…
session.screen0.toolbar.visible:	false

Looks rather wrong, and I assume the mapping state of the window diverges from FBs internal opinion on that why it's placed "somewhere" and also doesn't strut (ie. keep the maximized window away from it)
If you want to try it again (you could simply copy the compiled fluxbox binary to /usr/bin/fluxbox-git and select them in your xinitrc or however you start the session), I'd try to simply hide and re-show the toolbar and see whether that "fixes" it, but why the window would start out being mapped is puzzling.
Could be because of some systray icon…
