Title: Traffic-Monitor on Dashboard is empty with Firefox
Post by: PhoenixRider on November 20, 2023, 08:01:19 PM
Hello,

with Firefox I have the problem that the traffic monitor remains empty. On the other hand, everything is fine with Chrome, but I want to switch to Firefox.

Are there any tips for this?

You should select the 'pencil' icon, select one or more interfaces and press save (hold your breath for 3sec or so). Firefox is working (for years here), shouldn't be the problem...

WAN is selected, but it is empty.

Very odd. I just tried it in Firefox 119.0.1 on Windows 10 64bit. It was fine.

If it is OK in Chrome, then it suggest something about Firefox. Update / reinstall?

Maybe extensions. Adblockers can stop scripts from rendering. I can't imagine a reason to reinstall the browser.

I have reinstalled Firefox and now the traffic monitor works fine. :)

then chances are by doing that, the offending extension was removed.

I found out what's wrong with Firefox.

If you change the following setting in about:config to smooth the font in the browser, the traffic monitor remains empty:

gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode -> 1
