Nag the guys to properly support Firefox. All other browsers use webkit and are the same. A lot of web-developers today only test their stuff with webkit.
@SGS I see the same problem here with firedragon. The structure of the page renders ok, but a lot of the graphics are just not displayed (no download issue). So I am pretty sure the developers of the page are at fault here and use some webkit specific hacks.
I would have wished that the problem pages were posted and not just the home page, possibly I would have looked at more if it was about the Ultra with 12GB/1 TB
If that helps Austin, I'm at work so no Linux here, I have opened up Firefox in WinCOUGHdows and all renders fine.
It is truly graphics intensive but no slowdown or rendering issue on a 4yo machine (this is bad with Windows). The short animated videos also work fine.
I did get a BSOD while I was writing this, but that has nothing to do with Firefox or that website, as I had closed Firefox prior. loll
I am on my old laptop with Linux-mint, which also has the same issue as on Garuda.
So what happened is my father had to get some work done on our new laptop with Garuda, and he was complaining that some of his work-related websites won't function properly on firefox. I installed chrome for him, and it's working now.
I will share my inxi, and check out your suggestions when I have the laptop.
Thanks
I tried firefox-video-acceleration, it didn't change anything
Even firefox-esr has the same issue.
how do I check that?
I suppose everyone is facing this issue in firefox on Linux, but @FGD didn't face it on windows .
Actually, I have been noticing this issue in firefox for some time now, whenever the websites have some heavy graphics.
As I already mentioned, this issue is also there in Linux Mint.
So we can conclude Firefox Linux and its derivatives have this issue.
It would be nice if someone could report this bug to Firefox, it would be a little difficult for me as my exams are coming up, and I am also not exactly familiar with this process.
There is an environment variable which can be enabled for better performance on Wayland sessions, see here: Firefox - ArchWiki
If you switch back and forth, an easy way to have this taken care of automatically is add to your .config/fish/config.fish:
if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ]
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
end
I also was unable to get this website working correctly, but I'm not so sure there is a bug to report to Firefox or anything like that. It looks like there is a problem with the website:
I tried to force the website to load the page even though it is broadcasting insecure elements, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it despite some hacking around in about:config. I discovered if you toggle security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content from false to true, it will change the "connection not secure" badge to "connection secure", but it doesn't appear to change the elements displayed on the page in any way.
Now if I try to find non-functioning heavy websites(apple, asus etc.), everything seems to work. I think this Samsung's website was an exception. As far as I remember, I experienced this issue on other websites as well some time back, but now most of those seem to be fixed.
What actually caused me to post this issue here was my father's work-related website not functioning in firefox, and I had to install chrome . Now I don't know which website it was, but it didn't have any heavy graphics; it just wasn't responding.
Thanks, @BluishHumility, for submitting the issue at webcompat.
