azure serial console display garbled when accessing through firefox
Hi, Using firefox (latest) on either freebsd-stable/13 or on linux mint, when accessing the virtual console on azure, rather than displaying readable letters and numbers as is usual, the display just shows multi-coloured icons where each character should be. Turning off hardware accelleration doesn't fix the problem. I've also tried "firefox --safe-mode --no-remote" but the problem remains. The console works fine using www/dooble (dooble-2022.02.15) Is this a known issue? I'm asking here rather than at firefox because, as I understand it, firefox under linux and firefox under freebsd are very similar. Do I need to raise the issue directly with mozilla? The version of firefox under freebsd is firefox-98.0.2,2 and under linux mint it's "Mozilla Firefox 98.0.2" thanks, -- J. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Yes, and probably with azure as well. -- p...@opsec.eu+49 171 3101372Now what ?
