Bug 567108 – =www-client/firefox-42.0-r2 graphic repaint problem (gray content screen)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Eric Chatellier 2015-11-29 17:01:30 UTC]

Hi,

Since =www-client/firefox-42.0-r2 update, firefox is display a gray screen on start (just content screen) but application is not frozen.

Then, if I clic right on the page, page is rendered just once, and then rendering is frozen again.

I can type some caracters and press [enter], just window title is updated.

This is just a graphic problem.

Revert back to =www-client/firefox-42.0-r1 and/or dev-libs/nspr-4.10.10 does NOT fix the issue.

open about:config and change these two values to false and retest please

....

layers.acceleration.force-enabled
webgl.force-enabled

once set to false restart firefox, if you can do access the page please close firefox and edit $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*/pref.js directly with the following 

user_pref("webgl.force-enabled", false);
user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", false);

Modify this two option fixes this issue.

Does the temporary update to =www-client/firefox-42.0-r2 causes this ?

Yes, I will push a -r3 later this week with an option to control the two settings.
