The latest nightly has some sort of memory leak, pure white screen + crashing when webrender is enabled.

Firefox (webrender) immediately used all the available RAM within 5 seconds after starting up and crashed.

There isn't any url.
I just execute firefox with webrender enabled and it simply crashed (mozglue error) within 5 seconds after consuming all the 8gb RAM.

[Snake4]

nope i cannot reproduce that Crash. the only issue i see is, when i opened firefox again, i still see a white tab, then it opens my Twitter an forums.mozillazine.org homepage. apart from that all is ok on my end, scrolling stutters a bit. on distrowatch.com

You have tried the usual 'try this' steps? Safe mode for example? Etc.

Here a vlc desktop recording of the crash

As you can see....it displays white screen + super ram usage until it runs out. Then crash with mozglues.


EDIT:
Another question, may I know how to disable automatic homepage loading after executing firefox?

As one can see, I wanna set ipv6.google.com as my homepage, but I don't want firefox to automatically loads ipv6.google.com every time I start firefox from shortcut at taskbar. I simply want a blank tab/window, if I want to access the homepage, I would press ALT+Home.

Unfortunately, if I set 'blank page' at 'homepage and new windows', the shortcut ALT+Home redirect to ...well...blank page.

i dont think your second question is possible to do?

[ashleylai87]

i dont think your second question is possible to do?

So...no hope for my second question? Well, there will be uptick of google.com queries traffic from all those corporate pcs.

How about my first bug? Only I encounter such issue?

Not yet, planning on that this week-end.

[Ver Greeneyes]

For anyone with an Nvidia card who's experienced crashes since updating to driver version 397.31, Nvidia just released a hotfix driver (397.55) that should fix the issues. It also has the fix for the TDR issues people have been experiencing (see bug 1419264, bug 1433058 and bug 1458303), unlike 397.40 which was from an older branch.

As one can see, I wanna set ipv6.google.com as my homepage, but I don't want firefox to automatically loads ipv6.google.com every time I start firefox from shortcut at taskbar. I simply want a blank tab/window, if I want to access the homepage, I would press ALT+Home.

Unfortunately, if I set 'blank page' at 'homepage and new windows', the shortcut ALT+Home redirect to ...well...blank page.

I have my home page set to a blank page. I use the bookmarks toolbar for sites I frequent most often, with the first site I usually visit being the first shortcut on the bookmarks toolbar.

Some people don't like sacrificing part of the vertical space for the bookmarks toolbar, so a second possibility is to have multiple shortcuts to launch Firefox, altering the "target" part of the shortcut if launching to a particular URL.

A sample shortcut target:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote

Same sample but opening a particular URL (in this case, time.gov to display the official time)

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote https://www.time.gov

The "https://www.time.gov" is the URL Firefox will automatically open when that shortcut is double-clicked.

(The -no-remote on Windows allows me to have this launch Firefox, even though there are other instances of Firefox already running, but it will not allow two instances to use the same profile. I need it because I often have two different versions of Firefox up at the same time, or have two Nightly instances up and running but one of them is using a new profile. If you run strictly one instance at a time, you wouldn't have -no-remote.)

Edited to add:

OK, it works. Set the default home page to desired URL. Then if you launch Firefox and specify "about:blank" as the URL, it appears to work, e. g.,

Shortcut target to open a blank page, in spite of having configured a default home page:

"C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe" -p "Test_Dev" -no-remote "about:blank"

Even though this instance has htts://www.time.gov as its default home page, the above shortcut (with the "about:blank", including the quotes, as the last parameter of the "target" of the shortcut) will open Firefox and the one tab opened will be a blank page.
