What settings does Firefox Safe mode changes, besides disabling themes, extensions or add ons?

There is an unusual behavior when using the scroll bar from Angular Material cdk-virtual-scroll-viewport using Firefox 88 (Linux, Windows), Chrome works fine. The scrollbar jumps, remaining on top / bottom of the cursor, or it just doesn't move at all. It can be reproduced by opening Material page in FF. Interestingly, only the last one works fine (Virtual scroll with no template caching). The same behavior was observed in other library, ngx-datatable.

While debugging, I noticed that when using FF safe mode the error goes away. I tried manually disabling all extensions, add-ons, plugins, themes, but the error persists.

CodePudding user response:

I can't reproduce this issue, but it looks like something with hardware acceleration.

In addition to disabling add-ons (extensions and themes) and turning off hardware acceleration, Firefox Troubleshoot Mode disables Enhanced Tracking Protection and Safe Browsing features. Firefox Troubleshoot Mode also disables the JavaScript Just-in-time (JIT) compiler and ignores the optional userContent.css and userChrome.css files (if present). The xulstore.json file, which saves customizations to window sizes, toolbar settings and controls, is also ignored; however, any changes stored in modified preferences remain in effect.
