Actually also the settings on the "home page" page are ju7st non-existant. (see screnshot) Created attachment 1455575 [details]
Settings not shown…
Can you please try US locale? Tried it via $ LANG=en-US firefox and it uses the en locale, but this issue here stays the same. I also tried it in a relatively fresh other profile and for some reason, there it worked without any problems (in German, not [only] en-US there.) When starting via "$ LANG=en-US firefox" Firefox showed these log output on the console: (firefox:4934): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:08:35.628: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox:5065): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:08:37.013: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.

File not found
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///usr/lib64/firefox/browser/features/activity-stream.xpi!/chrome/content/prerendered/en-GB/activity-stream-prerendered.html.
Check the file name for capitalisation or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
firefox version 62.0.3 (64-bit)
Can you please try a new profile and/or Firefox safe mode? (In reply to Martin Stransky from comment #6) > Can you please try a new profile and/or Firefox safe mode? i can reproduce it in safe mode, it actually shows the activity stream every other tab or so, but mostly it doesn't not show what it is supposed to. This has long fixed itself. (already in the next big Firefox release if I remember) So if it were about me, you can close the issue, but it seems in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1596748#c5 another user had the same problem. |
Created attachment 1455530 [details] about:newtab page Description of problem: After the update from Firefox 60 to v61, about_newtab only shows a blank page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 61.0-4.fc28 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update. Open Firefox. 2. (Open a new tab or manually go to about:newtab.) Actual results: Actually, it does not really show an empty page, but only the "onboarding" Firefox icon is visible – and works, as expected. Expected results: New tab page as before… Additional info: see screenshot, no errors in JS console BTW also if I have the dark theme enabled, the background is still white. AFAIK a new thing in FF 61 was that it should be dark, in this case, too.
