Hi community,

I found I cannot open any local directory, like "file:///home/". Firefox keeps loading but shows a blank page. Actually I found I cannot open PDFs by Firefox first, and then I found I cannot open any directory. I think these two issues are related.

Does anyone have some idea about this issue? OS: Manjaro Linux Firefox: 80.0.1

Thanks.

Updating the Linux kernel to 5.4 solved the issue. I found the solution here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1301351

Somehow I didn't find this post before. My bad.
