When logging in, traffic graph goes full screen and can't do anything

Red Squirrel

I noticed in the past month or so I can no longer get into the web GUI. When I login, I briefly see the dashboard then it goes to one of the graphs full screen and I can't do anything. Like this:

If I'm fast enough and click something else I can get into the rest of the GUI however. I tried this on multiple computers. Oddly, it seems to work ok on the Raspberry PI, but that's it. This happened before I upgraded so it's not an issue with the latest version, I upgraded to see if the problem with go away and it did not.

The weird part is that initially I made no changes and this started happening out of nowhere.

there has been a couple of threads about this.. Seems to be a firefox issue, was reported with firefox 45

What browser are you using?

Red Squirrel

Yep firefox 45 here… And that refresh link worked!

Fixed now. I will have to do the same on the other machine.

Ironicly it also fixed being able to view stock graphs on the TSX website. I did not reinstall my privacy adons though... hopefully it's not one of those causing an issue. I use noscript, privacy badger and adblock.

hasn't 46 been out for a while.. I am on 46.01

Could be, but I just go by whatever the distro package manager gives me.

johnpoz

so you don't like run updates??

Red Squirrel

I hate installing stuff from source as it does not integrate as well with the OS. Ex: shortcut icons and such. I'm sure at some point there will be an update through package manager.

johnpoz

just from pure curiosity what distro are you running.. Most of them while current is not released day that firefox releases it, should be very shortly available. Shoot 47 will be out soon ;)

Linux Mint 17.1. I just ran an update and it did update to 46 now (I still can't believe how fast they're pushing entire new versions now, 46 lol.. just crazy). I don't run it every single day, it gets a little tedious, so I do it whenever I don't have much going on and can reboot. (some updates want to reboot).
