I woke up one day and Fennec wouldn’t browse any web page. Like, if I do a search, which goes to DuckDuckGo, I get a loading bar that never goes anywhere. (See screenshot).
If I disable all of my extensions, it’ll work again. Then, if I enable them one by one to try to find the culprit that was making Fennec not work, it doesn’t break! Until it does, randomly. I basically can’t easily reproduce it working or not working.
I switched to IronFox, and installed all the same extensions, and have had no problems for two days.
Extensions:
- JShelter
- UBlock Origin
- Decentraleyes
- Cookie AutoDelete
- Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy
Ironfox has been doing the same thing for me recently. For now it seems to be working fine again, but the freezing/not loading has been very sporadic to say the least. Hope it gets figured out and fixed soon.
ive been using ironfox , and i havnt seen those issues yet, must not be common.
Same, these issues happening in fennec are what got me to move over to ironfox at long last which has been working perfectly
I use both and fennec has been the sole culprit for me, ironfox doesn’t seem to break like this or a reload would fix the issue, fennec makes me recreate the tab but currently even that isn’t working, assumedly because of extensions mentions by commenters above.
It was immediately crashing after start for a day for me on GrapheneOS. Fixed it really qickly.
