Description Markus Schibli 2023-08-07 12:33:38 UTC

Description of problem:
For a digital signage setup, customer runs firefox in kiosk mode. The URL which should be displayed is specified in the command line parameter. This worked well until we upgraded to Firefox 102.14.0-1.el9_2. Instead of the URL we specified, we only see a white screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Firefox 102.14.0-1.el9_2

How reproducible:
- Install Firefox version 102.14.0-1.el9_2 on a RHEL9.2 in graphical mode
- Launch firefox from the command line in Kiosk Mode with an URL specified, for instance: `firefox --kiosk https://redhat.com`
- Observe that Firefox doesn't load the Red Hat homepage and only displays a white screen instead.


Steps to Reproduce:
see above

Actual results:
white screen

Expected results:
see the content of the specified URL in firefox in kiosk mode

Additional info:
If we downgrade to the previous fiferfox version, firefox-102.13.0-2.el9_2.x86_64.rpm, it works as expected
