OK we manage to replicate it. Weird that most things don't hit it. Digging....

Good effort and yes, noticed the issue with Safari.
️ -
You have any plugins that might try to pull an icon to use? Password manager perhaps?
-
No plugins or password manager.
I do have 3 extensions though:
-
Stop The Madness (not really used with pfSense GUI)
-
Dark Reader (disabled for pfSense GUI)
-
AdGuard For Safari (disabled for pfSense GUI).

Hmm, does it only happen in Safari? Does it happen everytime you refresh the page? Any page?
Still trying to get more data points here. Seems like it must be something very specific.
-
Only happens on Safari (I only use Safari and Brave).
Seems like a common issue when I Googled it. This example is a bit dated though:
**If a user from Safari Web browser (Apple devices) visit your site. The browser tries to fetch the site icon if it is not defined in <head> in the following order:
apple-touch-icon-57x57-precomposed.png
apple-touch-icon-57x57.png
apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png
apple-touch-icon.pngTo resolve this issue either define an icon for safari web browsers or apple devices. Add something like this to head section of your site:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/custom_icon.png"/>
If you want to keep <head> clean then upload the icon to root dir of your site with proper name.You can find more details on iOS developer library.**
It also came up as a pfSense issue from back in the day:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6727

Right. Which is weird because it is defined in head.

@stephenw10
It only seems to happen when using macOS Touch ID to log into the pfSense GUI. More details in the Apple dev library, apparently.️ -
Aha, that's fun...

OK try the patch on the redmine if you can: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6727#note-2

Patched and did a quick log-out and log back in and all was well. I'll look at it in more detail tomorrow.

Thanks!

Fully tested - patch 6855d0f643a33 is confirmed to work with 25.03.b.20250610.1659.
No remaining issues or observations - looks like a fix.
As an aside the 25.03 update is looking really good. Rock-solid stability, nice new features and a massive performance upgrade for PPPoE WANs.
I know our role is to pick holes in it but this is one of the best updates in recent years.

Awesome! Thanks for testing.

I've no idea why this error returned this morning as nothing had changed:

️ -
Hmm, weird. Some other page that doesn't have meta data in the header? What were you looking at that triggered it?
-
@stephenw10
The blue pfSense login page just after refreshing the pfSense red screen (the timed-out / credentials / whatever thing).️ -
Ah, the CSRF token timeout? Maybe it tries to pull icons from there...
-
@stephenw10
Yes, that's the one my brain was hiding from me - CSRF token!️
