Looping opening of help files on startup failure

Phil G All Messages By This Member #239082 This has been happening for a while, but when I start JMRI on my Pi with a startup error, JMRI tries to open a help page from /home/pi/JMRI/help - repeatedly In fact it keeps trying to open files until I kill the browser window There are no errors in the console Just upgraded to 5.11.2 and it's still happening Any clues anyone?

Dave Sand All Messages By This Member #239085 Phil, What is the "startup error"? Connection errors always trigger the help page.

Phil G All Messages By This Member #239086 It was a connection error It’s not the triggering of the help page that’s the problem though It tries to open the first of the links I posted, then the second one, then the first one again, then the second one.

Steve Todd All Messages By This Member #239088 Phil, I can duplicate it simply by opening FireFox on the RPi and pasting your first link. file:///home/pi/JMRI/help/en/package/apps/AppConfigPanelErrorPage.shtml Then new tabs are opened repeatedly until I close the browser. --SteveT
Steve Todd All Messages By This Member #239089 Actually, it seems that opening ANY of the .shtml files as a "file://" URL causes this looping. Looking for an .html file to test now.
Phil G All Messages By This Member #239098 开云体育 I just renamed one of the shtml files to html. Now it opens just fine Is this issue unique to RasPi?? ?Haven’t had chance to check it on Win10 yet Phil G toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 24 Jan 2025, at 16:20, Steve Todd via groups.io <mstevetodd@...> wrote: ?

Phil G All Messages By This Member #239107 开云体育 Thanks Heidi Known for a while but still not fixed it seems Also noted “?also, I don't think it's mentioned in this report that the Downloads directory ends up containing a .part file for every tab opened“ - I’ve been wondering where those fragments came from!

Phil G All Messages By This Member #239205 开云体育 If anyone else is suffering with this, some helpful info from the Firefox community “?If you add a line to?`.mime.types`?(note leading?`.`) in your user home directory (you may need to create the file) that simply reads: `text/html html htm shtml` and save it, then restart Firefox for good measure, does the problem go away (ie the file just gets opened inside Firefox immediately)? Firefox consults this file first, if it exists (but it may not, by default). If it doesn't, it?, specifically??via?`g_content_type_guess`. In the broken environment I found, gtk says that the mimetype of the file is?`application/x-extension-shtml`, which Firefox thinks it doesn't know anything about and hands to the OS, which presumably does a check with?`file`?or something that cares more about the file's contents and finds?`text/html`, which it hands back to Firefox, etc.“ This does indeed resolve the issue for me Phil G toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 24 Jan 2025, at 22:18, Heiko Rosemann via groups.io <heiko.rosemann@...> wrote: ?Seems to be a bug in firefox for Linux: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1885804 (I can confirm it on my desktop machine) Heiko On 1/24/25 22:40, Phil G via groups.io wrote: More testing I installed Chromium on my Pi This doesn’t recursively open shtml files Maybe Firefox is the problem??
