UI bug in Firefox 153?

tembun · 2026-07-24T19:39:51+0100

Code:

$ pkg info chromium firefox
chromium-150.0.7871.100
firefox-153.0_1,2

On the screenshot, www/chromium on the left side and www/firefox on the right side. In Firefox, commit messages are not displayed in cgit.freebsd.org: a tag with class commit-msg is just empty:

I've confirmed that on another person's smartphone. A couple of days ago (before upgrading the packages), I didn't see this problem. Does anybody else face that?

The link.

A link we don't have to type would be nice.

I see it.
Check your extensions.

If the element is empty, it is the server that is not giving the content and the browser is not directly responsible for it.

I disabled all extensions, restarted the browser, but I still can't see it.

I don't see the issue on the (different) page I visited.

tembun · 2026-07-24T19:59:15+0100

Hmm, in the chromium page I see:

HTML:

<meta name='generator' content='cgit v1.2.3'/>

but in the Firefox it is:

HTML:

<meta name='generator' content='cgit v1.3'/>

And also Firefox has this:

HTML:

<script type='text/javascript' src='/cgit.js'></script>

and this script is not there (404 Not Found).

On the jwillia3 screenshot I also see cgit v.1.2.3, so it seems to me that cgit v.1.3 is the problem? But why it is a different version in Firefox then?..

Well, again, this is markup generated by the server and has nothing to do with Firefox or Chromium. Why the server is doing that, I don't know. Perhaps a PR should be made.

tembun · 2026-07-24T20:18:12+0100

I submitted a PR about this.

As drhowarddrfine mentioned, it really looks like a server side issue.

Using fetch(1) to download the source and viewing it with vim, it shows:

<meta name='generator' content='cgit v1.3'/>
an empty <div class='commit-msg'></div>

It could be an initially empty element which is then filled via AJAX which runs in the client browser. Faulty Javascript is my suggestion.

Edit:

and this script (/cgit.js) is not found (404).

Or no Javascript at all.

drhowarddrfine, like others, I didn't have to click a link. (I don't know if that's helpful at all, but I like to whatever the cyber equivalent is of hearing myself talk).
