I have added firefox to the autostart applications in .config/autostart.

After update to GNOME 44, firefox reproducibly starts up with an unusable window.

I have observed different phenomena. Most of the time the firefox window is transparent; basically only the window title bar is visible. Attempts to move or resize the window result in graphical artifacts. Sometimes the window is visible, but solid grey.

If if kill and restart firefox, the issue is gone, and firefox works normally.

I notice this message in the log:

> Apr 05 10:25:30.955458 apollon.suse.de firefox.desktop[12229]: ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.

But it is also displayed when I start firefox manually.

The issue still persists, and occurs reproduceably after every login.

It seems that "only" the rendering of the web pages is affected. If I open a link in another application (e.g. evolution), I can see that firefox' title bar changes. So FF is not hanging, but the window content doesn't change. Is it possible that FF is just rendering to some invisible plane?

Can you still reproduce this?

No. Probably fixed with 44.4.
