Troubleshooting

Game controllers not working

This is a workaround rather than an actual solution: giving the application read-only access to the /run/udev directory with Flatseal or the CLI by running flatpak override --filesystem=/run/udev:ro com.microsoft.Edge may get the controller running. However, this will not necessarily work on all systems, and does not work with hotplugging. Those issues cannot be fixed unless changes are made in the Edge browser.

Passing custom flags

We encourage users to insert all flags inside ~/.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge/config/edge-flags.conf. If this file doesn't exist, then create one. For each flag, they should be separated by newlines. For example, if you want to pass --ozone-platform=wayland and --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform, then the edge-flags.conf file will look like the following:

--ozone-platform=wayland
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform

Different branches for different channels

Could you perhaps have different branches or different packages for the different channels of Edge (Beta, Dev, and Stable & Canary when they release)? I'd like to run Dev as I do on my macOS & Windows systems for familiarity but it seems that the Beta branch is now used.

Wayland fractional scaling is buggy with v113

The UI scaling looks fine, but the app behaves as if the scaling is 2x instead of 1.5x, example cursor is larger, and it is not in the position it appears to be.

Crashes on Launch

I updated recently to the newest version of Edge, and now when I try to open it, it crashes a few seconds after loading. Ironically, running it with --verbose doesn't crash it, though.

Edge can't display CJK fonts

All Chinese fonts are displayed as boxes, and ASCII display is normal.

System: Fedora Linux 38.20230414.n.0 (Silverblue)

Workaround:

# copy Chinese fonts from host to flatpak container 
cp -R /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-sans-cjk-vf-fonts  ~/.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge/data/fonts

Titlebar does not respect GTK button position

Hello again,

The official RPM release of Edge respects putting the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the left side of the window, adjusting the Tab Actions Menu as seen in this picture:

The Flatpak release isn't doing this, keeping the buttons on the right corner in a Windows-style configuration.

Button layout data for verification:

$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout
'close,minimize,maximize:'

How do I make Edge trust a self-signed certificate?

I tried adding a full-chain .pem self-signed certificate in edge://settings/privacy/manageCertificates but it doesn't seem like Edge is ok with it. Do I have to mount the system's certificate directory?

install org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale as dependency

Hi,

I am using this edge flatpak to access teams, skype, onedrive, etc. on Fedora 35. The runtime org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale should be installed as a dependency to allow opening files with utf-8 (here japanese) filenames.

When I try to send a file that has a japanese name in teams, it fails with "file empty" or "not valid". I had to install org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale so it works. An easy reproducible example.

Without org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale installed

1. Drag and drop the attached file テスト.txt on an edge window.
2. The file is not open, instead the contents of the / directory of the flatpak is opened.
   

With org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale installed

1. Drag and drop the attached file テスト.txt on an edge window.
2. The file is open and the content (this is a テスト) is shown.
   

Attachement: File with a japanese name (it reads "test.txt")

Broken WidevineCdm lib in XDG_CONFIG_HOME

I notice today that Widevine is not working, with the log output:

Entity: line 1: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document

IIRC I renamed the config folder microsoft-edge-dev -> microsoft-edge-beta when switching from dev to beta, so this might be the cause. Worth taking this into consideration and test when switching to stable.

Removing ~/.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge/config/microsoft-edge-beta/WidevineCdm/* and letting the browser re-redeploy the lib fixed the issue.

How to get controllers to be detected by Edge

I checked the perms with Flatseal and I don't see anything that should be blocking it from being detected but I tested with https://gamepad-tester.com/ vs natively installed Firefox and it doesn't detect in Flatpak Edge or Chromium.

Edit: I tried Firefox Flatpak to verify apples to apples just Flatpak vs native and still nothing.

OS: Fedora 37
Flatpak: 1.14.4
Microsoft Edge Version: 112.0.1722.54 (Official build)

Error : `app/com.microsoft.edge/x86_64/master` not installed

I always get this error when trying to launch it. I also reinstalled it several times. It wont launch anymore. Sorry for my bad english.

Cannot enable the secure dns from settings.

It says "This setting is turned off for managed browsers." and its greyed out.
This is not a problem when using the aur versions.
This is kind of important feature since secure dns is the only way to bypass censorship for some of the website that governments are putting if you are not using vpn.

Security Keys are not Working

Hello,
I want to use my YubiKey to log into my Microsoft account, but it doesn't recognize the security key.
Other websites with FIDO support do not work on this Version of Microsoft Edge as well.

I am confident that this is not a problem with Flatpak or my YubiKey, because I installed Google Chrome as a Flatpak and there it works perfectly.

Not available through Flathub

Hi there!

I have recently found this flatpak and wanted to try it out. I've followed the link in repository's 'About' part (This one) but it is not available there. Was there any reason for flatpak removal from official website?

Rendering no fonts

It seems like edge and therefore PWA's you use it for (like teams) don't render any text anymor.

Tested with fedora 38

Switch default branch to master.

Edge for flatpak is stable now, please switch default branch from beta to master.

Entire screen sharing doesn't work on Fedora 35

It can be checked on https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/Pluginfree-Screen-Sharing/ .

Smart card PIV/PKCS#11 devices not accessible on Fedora

Edge does not pickup attached smart card/PIV devices attached and working via the host. Tested on Fedora 38 with a functioning p11-kit, opensc and pcsc daemon. Flatpak might be missing pcsc? Since the pcsc socket is passed into the flatpak sandbox what's missing is likely a PKCS#11 library such as opensc or p11-kit.

Similar and perhaps identical to flathub/com.google.Chrome#209

missing notification icon in address bar

is this the known issues in edge beta?

Add master branch for stable version of Microsoft Edge

Microsoft edge is now available in stable branch since 29 October, This flatpak should add a master branch to package the stable version in the stable channel of flathub.

Link: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/

Edge crash when launching from the desktop entry

Edge open and crash a few seconds after, running on Gnome Wayland, there is a loading spinner next to it while it is running :

Launching it from the terminal work fine and I'm even able to launch new instances with the desktop entry after summoning it from the terminal. There is also no loading spinner when launching it from the terminal.

Flatpak does not pin to latte-dock (fix/workaround included)

The Edge flatpak can not be pinned to Latte dock (a docky/OSX style dock that is particularly used on Plasma systems). If you right click the icon to pin it as usual, the Pin App icon is greyed out. Though I don't use Plasma's own launcher, I've heard this can affect it, too.

Fortunately, I figured a workaround, but with some caveats, and so I'm explaining this upstream so that maybe if something can be changed it'll become easier. And if not, you can at least refer to this. The workaround is that the file /etc/xdg/taskmanagerrulesrc which normally looks like this needs this extra line added under the Mapping settings:

Microsoft-edge-beta=Microsoft Edge (beta)

After saving this file, the app can be pinned normally. I discovered this after researching the same issue affecting GIMP and running the suggested xprop command on this issue. The returned string is WM_CLASS(STRING) = "microsoft-edge-beta", "Microsoft-edge-beta" and with that it was elementary to add a new line to the taskmanagerrulesrc file.

I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be implemented upstream, I leave that to project leadership since I know this one is close to adding a stable branch.

Any way to enable hardware acceleration for video decode?

I checked edge://gpu and noticed that hardware acceleration for video decode wasn't enabled. Is there a way i can enable this?

Edge Beta or Edge Dev?

https://www.xda-developers.com/microsofts-edge-browser-is-now-available-in-beta-for-linux/

MS Edge Beta just came out and is available on Linux. Should we stick with Dev builds or switch to Beta builds?

Managed by your organization

Hi. I just installed Microsoft Edge 109.0.1518.70, in the settings there is the banner "managed by your organization"
How can i fix it?

Widevine missing or not working

Sync stopped working, trying to re-enable sync causes Edge to crash

[System info]
OS: Fedora Silverblue 35
CPU: i7-1165G7
RAM: 16GB

Sync stopped working some time ago, in an effort to re-enable it I uninstalled the Edge Flatpak, manually deleted ~/.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge and reinstalled it.

Upon trying to login to my MS account, Edge crashes.

(Sync is currently working properly on my desktop PC (also running Silverblue).)

When running Edge via flatpak run com.microsoft.Edge it complains about ptrace not being permitted just before it crashes.
For debugging purposes I enabled ptrace via Flatseal and tried again, which crashes again, returning

Global Menu does not appear in KDE, does in traditional Edge

The Edge installation from Microsoft includes support for KDE's Global Menu Plasmoid, allowing MacOS-style menus of File, Edit, History, etc. These don't appear when running the FlatPak, likely due to some configuration in the JSON file. Following this advice and enabling some special permissions in FlatSeal causes the menu to appear momentarily when starting the app and then disappear when it's fully loaded, so something about the Flatpak's configuration is blocking these menus from appearing.

I hate to be the irritating KDE person, but some of us really love the global menu (particularly those of us who theme the biggest Mac knockoffs), and it would be nice if the Flatpak behaved identical to DEB/RPM Edge as far as the UX/UI.

To add system details: Plasma 5.23, Fedora 35

crashes after a minute

idk how to debug this issue.
I am on kde plasma 5.25.4

Microsoft Edge Flatpak Beta shows two icons in taskbar on KDE Fedora

When I open Microsoft Edge Flatpak Beta on KDE Fedora from Flathub-beta, it first shows two icons in the taskbar. One normal Edge icon and the other one the Edge Beta icon. After that, the Edge Beta icon disappears and the normal icon is showing. This does not happen with the official Edge installation from Microsoft. This issue occurs every time I open Edge Flatpak Beta.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Microsoft Edge Flatpak Beta from Flathub-beta
2. 2. Open Microsoft Edge Flatpak Beta from the application launcher or terminal.
3. Observe the taskbar and notice two icons appearing briefly.

Expected behavior: Only one icon should appear in the taskbar when opening Microsoft Edge Flatpak Beta.

Actual behavior: Two icons appear in the taskbar when opening Microsoft Edge Flatpak Beta.

Screen recording:will be appended later, when spectacle updates to 22.04 ;)

System information:

• KDE Plasma version: plasmashell 5.27.4
• Fedora version: 38
• Microsoft Edge version: Version 113.0.1774.23 (from install)

Fails to launch on Fedora 38

Edge 112.0.1722.54-1 stable fails to launch on Fedora 38 installed from the Fedora Flathub Selection Repo, possibly a problem on their part.

Notification sound spam

it keeps spamming windows 7 or 10 notification sounds when you are doing nothing at all in the browser
it is super weird i hope theres no one intentionally doing weird stuff to this flatpak

the arch package for edge doesn't do that

Unable to deploy in arch-chroot

Executing: /usr/bin/arch-chroot /mnt flatpak install --assumeyes flathub com.microsoft.Edge provides the following error:

I'm able to install other flatpak browsers such as Brave via this method, but not Edge when I image a new machine.

StartupWMClass for stable MS Edge is wrong

StartupWMClass for Microsoft Edge Stable should be microsoft-edge, not microsoft-edge-stable.

Instance using proxy, possible?

Is it possible to launch one instance of edge that uses a proxy?
I have a remote server and I want to browse through it (for security reasons, thanks to pubkey auth) using the classic ssh -D method.
However I do not want to set the entire system to use the proxy, I want only one instance of Edge to do it, to prevent unnecessary traffic and for security reasons (again).
Is such a thing possible?

Proposal: Add Read Only Access to UDev To This Flatpak's Default Permissions

Hello,

If one uses Microsoft Edge on the Steam Deck right now and wishes to setup Xbox Game Pass on this gaming device, they will be lead to this instruction page on Microsoft's website:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/xbox-cloud-gaming-in-microsoft-edge-with-steam-deck-43dd011b-0ce8-4810-8302-965be6d53296

Step 8 and 9 of the process requires the user to open a terminal window to enter a command to give Microsoft Edge access to UDev to receive controller input.

I understand the author of this Flatpak has described this as a workaround on the README.md for this repository, but as far as workarounds go, this one seems innocent enough to include it by default.

Having this available out of the box would reduce the steps in this process for new users.

For the Steam Deck particularly this would be a very nice UX improvement, as the Steam Deck's target demographic is not experienced Linux users, in many cases it includes people who have come straight from console gaming. Even if it's just 2 steps, helping those users avoid having to open a terminal to run a command would be nice.

As far as I can tell, this would only require only a one line change to com.microsoft.Edge.yaml, inserted after line 35:

- --filesystem=/run/udev:ro

If the maintainer of this Flatpak agrees I would be happy to make a push request myself to do the file modification.

Font rendering regression

There seems to be a problem with fonts in latest version. Looks like the issue started with commit 99d51f2d0c851338c43c717eedc07f1d438631a3722fc9d68b07da82ab1039ba as the version before it seems to work fine. Something related to the upgrade to 112 perhaps?

Downgrading to commit 204c1ec88ff6f562077e95a772b6b6980dd937d849c3cac69a76df3f00bb0a5f fixes the problem for me. Screenshots of before and after:

Metainfo parse error prevents upstream data update

Looks like Python XML library doesn't like xml files starting with comment: flathub-infra/flatpak-external-data-checker#128
Until we figure out why, if you want automated updates via the external data checker - consider moving the copyright comment in .metainfo.xml to the second line.

Unable to enable Wayland or pass custom flags

I'm running Wayland on Fedora 37 and would like to run Edge under Wayland.

I've edited the com.microsoft.Edge.desktop desktop file located at /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.microsoft.Edge/current/active/files/share/applications and amended all instances of Exec=/app/bin/edge with the parameters --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer.

However, either this isn't working (as in Wayland), or the flags aren't getting passed - when I launch Edge (via Gnome's application launcher), it appears that Edge is still using X11 (as confirmed by xeyes). Is there another way to pass custom flags and/or enable Edge (and Pipewire)?

Thanks

Gnome software says that org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/20.08 is missing

When I open gnome software it shows me this message

In english it says that it can't find org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/20.08 runtime for Edge
But it is installed in my system

I'm also have a #304 issue.

Fedora Workstation 38 (Flatpak version): I'm get SIGILL on launch.
Ubuntu 22.04 (DEB version): I'm get SIGILL in tab on some websites.
