    When I open a terminal using Firefox 70.0 I get a blank screen.  The terminal works as normal on Google Chrome 78.  Is this a know issue or is there a solution?

    Running Firefox 70.0 and the terminal works with both rc1 and rc3. Suggest you start checking add-ons and setting that block things.

    Seems odd that worked fine on 6.7.2.  The only thing that has been added is wireguard plugin.  So I guess Ill start there.

    Do you have any adblocker or antivirus installed? Make sure the GUI is excluded/whitelisted.

     

    Tested with Firefox 69.0.2 and 70.0, both working fine.

     

    Ps. I am using the WireGuard plugin too

    Yes: if you see an issue in syslog, does hardly any good to just post a snippet.  Please post diagnostics.zip.

    No adblocker or antivirus running.

    You bring up FF inspect element - and then look at Console tab and see what's going on.

    This is what comes up

    I booted into safe mode with no plugins and the terminal still does not work on FF.  Anything else that I can do on my end?  I have tried two different computers running FF and the results the same.  Works fine on Safari and Google Chrome.  I am now running RC4

    Works fine for me in FF, always has.  Could it be a particular FF add-on or maybe you are using a down-rev or beta version of FF?

    The problem seems to be unique to your installation of Firefox.


    Try a new Private Window in Firefox. 

     

    If that doesn't work, create a new blank profile:

    Thanks this got it working.  It turns out as I added addons back in I was able to figure it out.  It was Fingerprint Protection on my Private Internet Access addon that breaks it.  For some reason it works fine on 6.7.2 but doesn't play nice with 6.8.  Thanks!
