firefox-119.0-2.fc38.x86_64

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2023-11-07 07:04:50 UTC
Please run with MOZ_LOG="nsIUserIdleService:5" and attach the log here. We're supposed to switch to another service type.
Thanks.

Comment 2 Harald Reindl 2023-11-07 16:57:46 UTC
there is no logfile - i love clear instructions :-(

what service do you need at all?
it's a ordinary desktop applicaion which isn't supposed to do anything every few seconds

adding "export MOZ_LOG_FILE=mozlog.txt" produces a ton of empty files
