Avainsanana Firefox
I haven’t seen this since Ubuntu-distributed Firefox was updated to 84
For me this seems to have resolved itself since Ubuntu-distributed Firefox was updated to 84, though for all I know, it may have just coincided with some change implemented at Twitter’s end.
Twitter tabs don’t load in Firefox when set as home
I’m affected by this too, in Ubuntu 20.04 with Firefox 83.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1.
Tested nightly (85.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64) with a clean profile, and the issue remains.
Steps to reproduce
- Start nightly with
./firefox -no-remote -profilemanager - Create a new profile, select it and click Start Nightly
- Open these three tabs (replacing the first-run tabs currently open):
- https://twitter.com/i/lists/222412094
- https://twitter.com/uusijani/
- https://twitter.com/i/lists/1245729655862280192
- Open preferences, set Home to Custom URLs…, select ”Use current pages”
- Close the window
- Start nightly again with
./firefox -no-remote -profilemanager, select the previously created profile
What happens
None of the three tabs load any content. The firefox process also doesn’t end after closing this window with the non-working tabs, I have to Ctrl-C out of it.
Further info
Upon subsequent starts, Nightly does appear to correctly load the tabs, whereas for my main Twitter profile and FF 83.0 no amount of restarts seems to help; instead I have to open another tab and open m.twitter.com in it, then click on the home button to have the home tabs load (and close the first, still stuck set of home tabs).
Description textbox unfocused after click, have to click twice to start editing
Since recently, editing the description takes two clicks instead of just one. The first click turns the content into a textbox, but it remains unfocused until I click it again.
Issue

Problem description:
Sorry for not providing animation, as peek doesn’t support Wayland. The steps below should be sufficient though.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a card
- Click on the description once
What I expect to happen:
For the description to have focus (i.e. cursor, to be able to type)
What happens instead:
The description textbox remains unfocused and I can not type into it

It seems to refer to to paths in the domain root, whereas my root-url has the path https://my-domain.com/kan. Not sure if that’s related to the issue or not.
Hardware-accelerated video decoding (VA-API) broken in Firefox 79 (Wayland)
After updating Firefox from 78 to 79, hardware-accelerated video decoding no longer works properly in Wayland: streaming video gets cut off with an error message from the service.
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Follow the steps in [1] to enable VA-API.
2. Open a Youtube/Twitch video (for instance https://www.twitch.tv/rifftrax), press play
== What I expect to happen ==
For the video be played without issues (as it did with Firefox 78).
== What happens ==
After playing for a while (anything from just a few seconds to a couple of minutes), the video stops and is replaced by a service-specific error message, such as error #3000 (in case of Twitch) or (Youtube). Even when playing, the video also flickers green. After reloading the tab, the video again plays for a few seconds before the error message reappears.
== Other info ==
A fix is apparently already in the works upstream [2].

Unmuting Twitch video pauses playback, when media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed=false, media.autoplay.default=1
With `media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed` set to false and `media.autoplay.default` set to 1 (block audio), which is the default (and other autoplay-related settings in their defaults as well), a Twitch video can only be either paused or playing muted; unmuting the video pauses it and vice versa.
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Open about:config
2. Search for autoplay in the settings
3. Set media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed to false
4. Set media.autoplay.default to 1
5. Open a Twitch VOD, for instance https://www.twitch.tv/videos/280106033
6. Try to unmute the video
== What happens ==
The video is unmuted, but also paused
== What I expect to happen ==
For the video to continue playing, unmuted
I’m able to reproduce this when I set media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed to false
I’m able to reproduce this when I set media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed to false; if set to true (which is the default), unmuting does not pause the video.
Ctrl-v in comment field (rich editor) scrolls the view, hiding the card (when using Firefox)
Problem description
Using ctrl-v to paste content into a comment causes the view to scroll back horizontally so that if the card was already at the right edge of the view, it seemingly pops out of view. This happens when using Firefox; Chrome seems unaffected.
I’m currently unable to test whether the non-rich editor is affected due to #2967, and also, as I was exclusively using non-rich editor prior to this, I can’t say if this occurred with the 3.85 refresh or whether it was here with the rich editor even before.
Server Setup Information
- Wekan version: 3.85
- Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 (19.10 in another test VM)
- Deployment Method: snap
- What webbrowser version? Firefox 74.0, Chrome 80.0.3987.149
Logs contain nothing related to this AFAICT.
Steps to reproduce
- Copy something to clipboard
- Have a board with enough lists to fill the view horizontally, or contract the browser window to have one list at the right edge
- Open a card from the rightmost list
- Select the comment field, press ctrl-v
Demo
Here I’m first typing something, then pasting below it (using ctrl-v) to cause the unwanted scrolling to occur.
Rich editor in place despite richer-card-comment-editor = false
After today’s snap refresh to 3.85, rich editor is used for comments despite richer-card-comment-editor being set to false. Yesterday this was still working, and I didn’t change the settings, so it’s something to do with the latest refresh.
Server Setup Information:
- Wekan version: 3.85
- Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04 (19.10 in another test VM)
- Deployment Method: snap
- What webbrowser version? Firefox 74.0, Chrome 80.0.3987.149

Here are the banner settings
Hi @amyblais, thanks for taking a look!
Here are the banner settings:
# grep -i banner config.json
"EnablePreviewModeBanner": true,
"EnableBanner": false,
"BannerText": "",
"BannerColor": "#f2a93b",
"BannerTextColor": "#333333",
"AllowBannerDismissal": true
I should also mention that I’ve previously enabled Developer Mode ("EnableDeveloper": true), but I’m not sure it’s related, since the notification in this issue has the normal blue background, not a purple one.
The issue reappeared today for the other affected user, then kept disappearing and reappearing under testing, but we were unable to pin down any specific reason. Their browser console (Firefox) only has this:
websocket connecting to wss://[redacted]/api/v4/websocket websocket_client.jsx:35:20
and the server log meanwhile only has this line repeated:
mlog/log.go:174 {"name":"TypeError","message":"NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.","stack":""} {"path": "/api/v4/logs", "request_id": "g8wwo8yu57djmkipjxjxn7hy3y", "ip_addr": "[redacted]", "user_id": "[redacted]", "method": "POST", "err_where": "client", "http_code": 0, "err_details": ""}
(where user_id is the one for the affected user.)


Hi Alex!
It does not appear to have been fully fixed by Firefox 88 for me at least, although the conditions have changed slightly, and the remaining broken behavior is now slightly different too.
First, to update my note above:
media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-neededhas been superseded bymedia.autoplay.blocking_policy, and setting the latter to2is now required to trigger the issue (as it manifests presently); with the setting at either0or1I haven’t been able to reproduce any variation of the issue.Now, the video doesn’t get paused anymore, but the unmuting also does not work: clicking the muted indicator just always resets it back to muted, instead of actually unmuting.
