Except a little problem of visibility of highlighted text and scroll bars.

Note that this should be tested just to make sure the 45 ESR packaging is OK.  We'll release it when it's bumped to 45.2 as a security update, but we want to make sure the packaging is OK now so that we can release 45.2 quickly when available.  Thanks.

Using firefox-38.8.0-1.mga5 the right vertical drag bar is
fully visible. After upgrading to firefox-45.1.0-2.mga5
the bar is visible but the up/down push bar is not but still works.
Please check if this is also the case on real hardware.

Confirmed on real hardware (i586) : the scroll position is not visible, the same for the horizontal bar when window is small.

Interesting that it looks fine in Cauldron.

Different themes, maybe?

It is GTK+ based--is there a major difference in versions of GTK between Cauldron and mga5? And is this a repackage of the Cauldron version?

Confirmed with real hardware x86_64, too. Other than that, looks good. weather.com now happy.

I updated Firefox and T-bird at the same time, but I don't think that would make a difference.

Probably not applicable to the discussion, but the drag bar problem is not an issue with Thunderbird 45, at least not on my hardware. On my hardware, the push bar in T-bird is a lighter gray than the rest of the side bar. In Firefox, the whole bar is light gray.

Progress bar in the traditional Downloads window extension also not visible.

Noted something strange while installing this version:
Installing the firefox drew in glibc2.20-22 (and asked for a restart) on my x86-64 installation.
On my i586 installation it drew in just firefox and firefox-nl. Checked and found that above glibc version was not visible at that moment. I forced a refresh of the repositories and thereafter the new glibc was visible.
I find it strange that in this situation, the installation of firefox went OK, and did not throw a dependency problem.
Anyway, both versions seems to work on my newspaper, but scroll bar and check box problems as described above are there

CC: (none) => herman.viaene

firefox-45.1.0-3.mga5 is building now, with a patch that was meant for Gtk+ 3.20 disabled.  Hopefully it will fix the visual issues you are seeing.  Please confirm, and report if any other issues still remain.  Thanks.

It should be available within the next few hours.

Scroll bar now visible in x86_64 Mageia 5. Don't know about the check boxes.

Weather.com still happy.

Looking good for i586, too. No issues to report.

Without something to compare it to, it's hard to agree.  Objectively, it looks fine.

That helps.  Not the prettiest font in either case, but it looks like it's the same one in both.  It looks like FF45 is interpreting that page as if the font should be Bold and FF38 is not.  Who knows which is correct?  I'd guess it's interpreting some CSS differently.  Probably need to look at a lot more web pages to know whether it's fair to actually call this a problem.

Yes exactly that! all Bold police are not correctly interpreted.

I think you need to check your translator again.  I don't know what you mean when you say police, but it's not police.

So, this is another case.  Now we don't see things being Bold that shouldn't be Bold, the same things are Bold in both cases.  But, in FF45, the bold looks much uglier.

As a whole, even of the interface, I see a bit of the same thing.  FF38 looks "softer" and FF45 looks "crisper."  I certainly prefer the FF38 softer look, but it's hard to say FF45 is wrong, but comparing the Bold fonts in those screenshots, in FF45 it does look unfortunately horrible.

Has there been a change in what font libraries it uses from the system vs. bundled in how this FF45 was built?  I know one, upstream no longer uses graphite2.  I'm not sure that would affect this.  I don't know if there are changes regarding other font libraries.

Yeah! I don't know what is really affected but between FF38 and FF45, FF48 looks very very ugly.

Something that should be considered when comparing fonts and other visual attributes between FF38 and FF45 
FF38 is gkt+2.0
FF45 is gtk+3.0

Can't imagine why that'd impact fonts, but the other differences in the visual appearance, certainly it makes sense.

It's not built with system cairo or harfbuzz.  I suppose those could impact this.

It can impact the way fonts appear because the hinting (rendering) used is different.
This can affect how dark and|or crisp a font looks.

Testing M5 x64:
 firefox-45.1.0-3.mga5
 firefox-fr-45.1.0-1.mga5
 firefox-cy-45.1.0-1.mga5
 firefox-en_GB-45.1.0-1.mga5
This looks fine now. Looked at various sites, all without problems.
Vertical & horizontal scrollbars present & correct.
As for fonts, I notice nothing untoward. Bold (Comment 30) shown correctly in all the contexts I regarded.

Given all the good feedback from Comment 20 onwards, can we validate & push this?

No, the purpose of this build was not to push it, as stated before.  It was to test it and make sure we got all the kinks worked out (like the scrollbar issue, for instance) before updating it to the next security update, 45.2, which we will have to push.

Note that we have the same font issue on Cauldron (either for me in all case :-D)

Can you check with FF 45.x from usptream too? I'll see how it behaves for me on cauldron, forgot to do it yesterday (but I haven't noticed particular issues apart from the fontconfig problems mentioned on dev@, but those are not FF specific and don't affect mga5).

The font issue must be a matter of personal preference. If anything, I like FF45's rendering a little better.

Yes, I remember that now: Comment 3.
I was wondering about the persistance of this bug. Are we going to perpetuate it up to & including 45.2 i.e. new package list & advisory? Or will that have a new update/bug when it arrives?

That will be a new bug.

My own system on x86_64 has the scroll bars, but not the control arrows for the scroll bars.  Is this an issue for anyone else?

Reminder to self, I just pushed the libpng update to go with the next FF/TB updates:
libpng16_16-1.6.22-1.mga5
libpng-devel-1.6.22-1.mga5

from libpng-1.6.22-1.mga5.src.rpm

Saw Firefox 45.1.1 in testing when I went looking for Thunderbird 45.1.1. Installed it, even though there is no bug on the list for it yet.

All looks good for 64-bit. No regressions noted.

Yeah, that was an unnecessary update (not that there's anything wrong with it), but there will be a bug for 45.2.0 when it comes out (should be next Tuesday).

In cauldron 64 bit I do not see any arrows in the firefox scroll bars, just the slider.

But in Mageia5 i586 i do see sliders, running FF 45.1.1-1.mga5

both systems are KDE
