Summary: Firefox 4 Beta 7: Starts but doesn't render the program (menu/toolbars/browserarea) Product: Wine Version: 1.3.6 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product= firefox-4.0b7&os=win&lang=en-US OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: andreas.boggild@gmail.com
Firefox 4 Beta 7 seems to install correctly and also starts without errors, but it fails to actually render the program inside the window decorations. The title in the window decoration still shows that the program is functional (though invisible), as I it updates with a new title if I go to a new page (using Crtl+L shortcut and type the address blindly) or open a new tab (Crtl+T).
Beta 6 works fine and I believe one of the changes to Beta 7 was the introduction of GPU acceleration by default, which I suggest could be causing the problem, though I'm not sure. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with a Radeon X1300 Mobility and the default open source driver from the distribution. In case it is the GPU acceleration causing problems, I guess it could be a bug in the driver instead?
