Sailfish Browser

sailfish-browser

Sailfish Browser is web browser for Sailfish OS and is shipping with Sailfish OS devices. Sailfish Browser uses Sailfish Silica Qt components for the browser chrome and gecko engine with embedlite Qt5 binding. More information about the architecture can be found from https://web.archive.org/web/20180830103541/http://blog.idempotent.info/posts/whats-behind-sailfish-browser.html . Feel free to ask questions on Forum from Maintainers.

Tools

All tools are located in source tree under tools.

memory-dump-reader

Memory dump reader is a simple desktop utility for dumping and collecting memory information of the Sailfish Browser. Current version of the memory-dump-reader is a work-in-progress version.

Compilation

• Change directory to the tools/memory-dump-reader
• <qmake-bin-path>/qmake
• make

Reading and collecting

Once memory-dump-reader is compiled, run it like: dumpMemoryInfo /tmp/fileName.gz ip-of-the-device. The script dumps remotely memory information of the browser and copies the dump to the desktop. The dumpMemoryInfo script works best when you have added your public ssh key as an authorized key of the device.

License

The browser is open source and licensed under Mozilla Public License v2.0 (http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/).

sailfish-browser's Issues

Crash at startup

Browser crashes at startup if button to show tabs is clicked before page load starts.

Steps to reproduce :

1. Launch browser.
2. Click on the button to show tabs before page load starts.

How reproducible:
Always

[Site Issue] Search field loses focus/cannot input text [valintatalo.fi]

Its not possible to use the highlighted search field on this page:

http://www.valintatalo.fi/fi/etusivu

When you tap the field the keyboard shows up, but then quickly disappears with the search field losing focus. Works on Webcat browser by refocusing with tapping the field twice.

about:* pages should not be visible in history view

Currently e.g. about:license is written to history. As these are not real urls they should not be written to history either.

NewWebView: Move simple wrapper methods from WebView to C++ side

Example WebView::reload(). Let's try to keep engine / model related code in C++ side and QML side clean.

See: #46

Add design documentation

Browser scrolls away when changing orientation

It would appear the browser counts the "distance scrolled" in screen heights and then converts to pixels or similar. Thus, when height and width is swapped.. you only get 9/16 as far down the page (or the opposite way, when you change to portrait). So after a few screen heights of reading you wont see anything of what you were looking at if you change the orientation.

Delete incorrect instance from list of history suggestions

If i have typed an incorrect URL previously, say, googel.com, currently there is no way to stop it from being suggested. And as it happens, i keep clicking the wrong suggestion. 😉

Can we have the option to delete such individual entries? Perhaps, by having an option called Delete on holding the entry.

Adding custom / Cacert certificates not possible

I tried to add the Cacert root-Certificate to the Browser and it doesn't work as expected.

When I click on the .pem certificate at cacert (http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3), the Browser opens up a page where I could add it. But none of the options nor the button are clickable. I've added a screenshot below.

Now I have added the certificate manually with this solution: https://together.jolla.com/question/835/browser-personal-certificates-import/?answer=8170#post-id-8170

Slow startup on Uitukka

Some users are reporting slow startup on Uitukka. This is probably because of system running low on memory. Still worth investigating if something could be done for startup and for Tweetian's own memory use.

JavaScript-heavy (asm.js) WebGL page crashes browser

Steps to reproduce:

• Open http://thp.io/2014/petals/play/ in the browser
• Wait for the page to load

Expected result:

• Page loads and works, content is rendered via WebGL and has acceptable performance

Actual result:

• Browser locks up, then crashes

Other comments:

• The page works on Nexus 4 in Android (tested using Chrome 34 and Firefox 29)
• The page doesn't work on Firefox 29 running in Alien on Jolla (also crashes)
• The same code, running natively, works on SFOS on Jolla, so all the GL features it uses (FBOs with depth buffer, ...) should be supported by the GL driver

Automatically scroll to selected menu item when accessing a dropdown menu

I'll elaborate on that with a simple scenario:

• Surf to a webpage that has a form with a SELECT element and plenty of OPTION elements (in plain English: a dropdown menu) on it.
• Select one of the options and submit the form so that afterwards you can see the chosen element as selected instead of the default option (this is, of course, assuming that you will remain on a page where the dropdown menu is stil visible after submitting the form)
• Access the dropdown menu again by tapping on it

End result:

• Dropdown menu opens up at the topmost item in the menu instead of the selected one. The selected item is highlighted when scrolling the menu but not necessarily visible when accessing the menu. IMO it would be quite logical to open up the dropdown menu at the point where the selected item is on the list (this is how e.g. Firefox handles selected items in a dropdown menu).

MP4 playback bugged

Had a look at my own blog with my jolla today and a video on there was a bit screwed up, sound is working though.

Update title for already existing history entry

When browsing to a web site that is already in history database, we should update the title for the url instead of inserting a new entry to the database.

File download confirmation and download information

As a user, when I tap on a download link, before the download link starts, I want to know (in descending order of priority):

• The size of the file
• The basename of the file that is being downloaded
• The file type (e.g. apk, zip, ...) that is being downloaded
• From which server (hostname) the file is being downloaded

Based on this information, I then want to confirm (e.g. through a Sailfish-style dialog) whether to download the file or not.

This is especially important if I'm on a metered connection. Right now, there's only a remorse item, and that doesn't seem to work correctly (the download of small files finishes before the remorse timer is done).

Remove oldest browsing history entries from database

Oldest entries should be periodically cleaned from browser's history database. Either keep only X amount of latest entries or timestamp entries and remove entries older than X days.

2-3months time should be enough, while it can still be a lot.

As history database queries are executed in another thread, clean-up could be for instance done when browser is started.

Ogg player hw volume key control not working when minimum volume set from player UI

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any ogg audio piece in browser
2. Set volume to minimum from player's own UI
3. Try to control volume by hardware volume keys

Expected: volume will change accordingly
Actual: volume stays muted

"Find in page" feature

This is a feature suggestion for a find-in-page feature, searching for a particular string in the body of a page. This feature is a staple in all modern web browsers, both for mobile and desktop devices, and seems like a crucial feature for the Sailfish browser.

• See also Browser: Find in page on Together.

Add build instructions

about:config and about:addons

about:config because personally I think it's easier than messing around with user.js, having to know what lines need to be added (which I don't).
For example: I tried to enable private browsing by using the line:
user_pref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", true);
Which does not work.

about:addons to install and manage addons.

Incremental history search does not work with special characters

See example in attached screenshots:

• entering "pers" finds the word "Persönlicher"
• entering "persö" does not find anything

I was able to reproduce this with other pages and other special characters like "ø" or "ä".

Ad possibility to add other search engines

Please add the option to simply add other existing search engines by url.

Firefox Sync Support

Please add Firefox Sync support to the sailfish browser.

Jolla browser should allow share URL to BT

I don't know if this is TransferEngine related or Browser related but...It would be good if possible to push URL:s over bluetooth. Right now its only possible send links per mail or twitter.

If page load fails entry still gets to history

When page load fails for example with a wrong URL and title "Problem loading page".

Title that comes from our own error page should not be saved to database.

NewWebView: Merge TabModel with DeclarativeTabModel

Current QML approach was fastest way to do this up to this point.

See also #46 for background information. Branch is newWebView.

There should be a download option in the "popupmenu"

There was some buzz today about no option to download Jolla's latest ringtone.

I think there should be an option to download media/files/images in the popup menu (eg the menu shown when tap and hold on a link)

Icon not completely round

As you can see the top and the bottom of the icon is not round. Maybe an scaling issue?

NewWebView: Declare properties in C++ side

All declared properties that are currently declared in QML side of WebView / TabModel should be declared in C++ side.

This will help merging of TabModel & DeclarativeTabModel (#47). For MozView this could mean that we could expose DeclarativeWebPage and create instances through WebView. Conceptually MozView is quite close to a page that can be navigated back and forth.

Once good thing about this would be that we would not need to uglyish meta calls from C++ side to QML. Currently we have some but those should not be there.

Unable to change homepage

Currently its not possible to change the homepage of the browser with the preference "browser.startup.homepage" which works on Firefox.

Apparently jolla.com is hardcoded to be the homepage. It'd be nice if we would be able to set the homepage to something else.

Improve labels at tabs page

Browser can't handle multiple-size favicons

https://together.jolla.com/question/36161/browser-cant-handle-multiple-size-favicons/ More here. Created here for visibility.

App not responding notifications on Uitukka

Some users report seeing "Tweetian not responding" dialogs frequently on Uitukku. Should be investigated.

NewWebView: Merge WebViewTabCache.js (pragma) with DeclarativeTabModel

Current QML approach was fastest way to do this up to this point. Let's try to keep QML side clean and push model related code to C++ side.

Add support for remote debugging

Enablers needed for embedlite-components:
https://github.com/tmeshkova/embedlite-components

Currently mozilla has support for Metro, Android FF, and Android WebAppRT

Investigate possibilities to write error pages in QML

We should investigate possibilities to implement error pages in QML. The main benefit would be that we could easily translate them and they would match to platform look end feel.

Data needed at client side (sailfish-browser) varies per error page but good starting point would be "Server not found" as you see it when you type url incorrectly.

Improved url support + 3rd party support

Be able to open an application when clicking on an url. Right now, http(s):// mailto:// and tel:// are supported, but maybe we should have extended support, like clicking on a http://twitter.com/ opens Android Twitter / Tweetian.

This need 3rd party support to be able to handle this too.

Allow overriding style for default controls

Even with -moz-apperance: none there is some gradient on text field and some styling. See: http://jsfiddle.net/3M64S/2/ with sailfish-browser

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-moz-appearance

[suggestion] Navigation (back and forth) by gestures

New icons and by swiping to the left go go back and swiping to the right you go forth

Adblock stopped working on the 1.0.4.20 Ohijärvi update

The Adblock add-on stopped working after Ohijärvi update.

Here's the respective thread on TJC:

[sailfish-browser] First page load after starting the Browser takes a while

Don't know how else to describe it, but the steps to reproduce it pretty consistently:
(using mobile-data)

1. Open any web site with the browser.
2. Close the browser.
3. Open the Browser and observe the loading of the previously opened page. (or: open any link from another app.)
4. Observe the "loading" status bar, it is frozen at some position for a very long time (like 10-30 seconds)

Sometimes a reload helps, but most of the time I just need to wait for the problem to timeout or something.

Enable more webRTC features

Would it be possible to enable support for a couple more webRTC features in the sailfish browser?

Here's an online check for the features I'd love to see: http://iswebrtcready.appear.in/

This webpage reports that the following are missing on the sailfish-browser that comes with Jolla version 1.0.5.16:

• getUserMedia() (Web camera access)
• RTCPeerConnection (Peer to Peer connection)
• ICE Connection (NAT traversal)

Thanks! :)

Support hyperlinks with tel: protocol

Mobile browser should support tel: protocol to initiate phone call from browser. viz http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806.txt

Private browsing support

Enable private browsing support.

As we have a history that is at browser side we cannot write to the history when private browsing is enabled.

Preference:
"browser.privatebrowsing.autostart"

Some pointers to Gecko:

[suggestion] Separating sailfish-browser from SailfishOS

I have to wait every OS update to get the latest version of the browser. Android had this problem for many years (Android 2.x). The sailfish-browser should just like Google chrome be separated from the OS to ship updates faster.

Option to reset browser to default state

Since users are manually installing add-ons to the browser and changing settings due to no official support for such things, we need to have a way to reset the browser to its default state like Firefox has, if you want to get rid of add-ons/leftovers etc or if problems arise.

Or if this is already possible to do manually some instructions for this would be great.

First use screen should only be visible if opening from the app grid

It's confusing for users that if the open browser via external link they do not get that site open and instead get the first use screen, better to show the first use only when opening from app grid.

Use Button instead of MenuItem in BrowserContextMenu

Using MenuItem seems inappropriate in BrowserContextMenu since it is not a good sign that those items are clickable and lack of (noticeable) visual feedback when those items are pressed. Buttons will be a better choice. Using buttons instead of MenuItem can also remove some confusing codes like highlightItem() and setHighlightItem() functions.

The guideline in here also state that Theme.highlightColor should be use for label that is non-interactive (which is the default color of MenuItem).

Just my suggestion, let me know what you think :)

Comparsion of MenuItems and Buttons:

Reproducable crash opening a certain site and scrolling

Hi,
I'm having crashes opening https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/uncrustify.cfg in landscape mode and scrolling down.
This is reproducable (on my phone).
