have you rebooted the desktop?

try Ctl-Alt-Backspace

also so others can benefit from knowing what system you have,
please open Terminal and enter inxi -Fszxd

and post the results back here inside the code marks </> after you click on that logo above the editor

I tried that already, I have sandboxed my firefox a while ago would that have anything to do with it?
I tried disabling firewall but still no luck?

I had to get rid of Firejail, it screwed things up so bad for me.

go to Terminal and issue Firefox and see if it works

did you try running Firefox w/o firejail?


go to Terminal and issue Firefox and see if it works when not running in the Sandbox

[gto52]

Tried running from terminal no change.

Should I uninstall Firejail?

What is the terminal command to uninstall?

Hello, gto52.

Seems that you have missed the relevant thread, Firefox 60.0 and Firejail.

If I understand the thread right, in particular pages 2 & 3, then updating Firejail to version 0.9.54 should solve the issue with Firefox 60.

[added]
On page 2 of the same thread a workaround for older Firejail versions is mentioned. Worth a try.
old firejail workround

HTH,
Karl

Should I uninstall Firejail?

What is the terminal command to uninstall?

try

Code: Select all

firefox

in terminal then open another terminal and run

Code: Select all

firejail --list

Is firefox listed as running with firejail?

I updated my firefox to the latest version(60) , I was on 56 now i cannot connect to any websites?

Start FF from a terminal without any addons:

Code: Select all

firefox -safe-mode

I had the same issue so I removed Firejail. To remove it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge firejail

I'm just going to give up on Firejail for now. In the past, I also had an issue with my sound. Pjotr had a thread on this, and I tried to install the latest version of Firejail, but it would not install. Said I did not have root privileges. So the easiest solution is to remove firejail.

Page 2 is the discussion by Pjotr.

Thanks I uninstalled firejail and it works will retry firejail later

[AZgl1800]

I tried the Firejail fixes, and as I mentioned, I ended up with a mess, and Timeshifted back to before Firejail.

I won't ever try it again.

I had the same problem yesterday. I uninstalled Firejail but that did nothing. I had to turn off hardware acceleration, then it worked.
