I upgraded the code in Fedora 27 because the Firefox browser wasn’t processing HTML Select tags correctly. After the upgrade of all fixes, the Firefox browser fails to let you use tabs to query other web pages. I shutdown Firefox, restarted it successfully, and took note that the liberation-fonts package was the problem. The tab processing issue occurred because I applied liberation-fonts package without restarting Firefox. Both Firefox and Chrome use the liberation-fonts package for displaying text.
You should run Chrome with the following command-line syntax to avoid the warning errors triggered by an existing bug:
google-chrome 2>/dev/null &It would display a web page, like:
I hope this helps those looking for a solution.
