The companion Firefox source-fork repo was renamed today from
feder-cr/invisible-firefox to feder-cr/invisible_firefox so the two
canonical project repos share the same underscore naming
(invisible_playwright + invisible_firefox).
GitHub redirects clones of the old URL transparently, so anyone with
an existing clone keeps working without changes. New clones go
through the underscore URL directly.
This commit updates all in-repo references (README, CHANGELOG,
CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml) to the new name.
No code, no version bump, no behavior change.

Two-part cleanup:
- CHANGELOG.md #18 entry: rewrite the symptom description without
naming the specific third-party site that originally reported it.
The technical root cause and fix are unchanged.
- README.md: remove the entire "Known issues" section. Its only entry
was the headless=True alt-desktop crash from #18, which was fully
fixed in 0.1.7 / firefox-7. Leaving the workaround instructions in
the README would have misled users into adopting them
unnecessarily. New issues can be added back as they're found; the
default state is "no known issues".
Pre-push: 402 unit + integration tests pass.

Pin fission.webContentIsolationStrategy=0 (IsolateNothing) in baseline
prefs. FF150 ships strategy=1 (IsolateEverything) by default, which
site-isolates every cross-origin iframe into a separate webIsolated
content process even when fission.autostart=False - different from
FF146 Playwright behavior. The parent's Juggler FrameTree then sees
the iframe placeholder with no docShell, no URL and a stale execution
context, so content_frame() returns None, frame.evaluate() throws
cross-origin permission errors, and frame_locator(...).click() times
out. Reproduced with a local cross-origin HTTP harness (two 127.0.0.1
ports = two SOP origins).
The fix is a single pref because that's the level the original Juggler
code paths assume - vanilla Playwright Firefox 146 ran with the looser
default. Disabling site-isolation costs nothing for a single-user
puppet browser; process-per-browser/profile isolation is unaffected.
Caller can A/B per session via
extra_prefs={"fission.webContentIsolationStrategy": 1}.
Tests: tests/test_cross_origin_iframe.py adds 4 unit sentinels (pref
in baseline, survives translate_profile_to_prefs, extra_prefs override
works) and 5 e2e sentinels that spin up two local HTTP servers on
random free ports and verify the four protocol operations that
regressed (page.frames URL tracking, content_frame(), frame.evaluate(),
frame_locator(...).locator(...)) plus dispatch_event('click')
end-to-end, for plain, sandboxed and titled iframes. A future FF
upgrade or A/B flipping the pref will fail the suite before shipping.
Verified clean: pytest -m unit (342 passed), fppro_full.py (ALL
CRITICAL FLAGS CLEAN), fppro_consistency.py (visitor_id stable).
BINARY_VERSION stays firefox-7 - Python-only release.
Issue: https://github.com/feder-cr/invisible_playwright/issues/20
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bumps BINARY_VERSION to firefox-7 which ships the real fix for issue #18
(id.sky.com tab crash on Windows headless=True).
firefox-7 contents:
- Canvas2D getImageData stealth spoof moved from read-only mapped surface
to JS Uint8ClampedArray writable buffer (commit 2e17b4871f93 in
invisible-firefox). Fixes the segfault on GPU-backed canvases that hit
during page unload.
Paired with the wrapper-side security.sandbox.content.level=4 workaround
shipped in 2e0adbd (this repo), the combination resolves both halves of
issue #18: cross-process navigation crash in loop AND segfault at close.
End-to-end tested with InvisiblePlaywright headless=True + UK proxy on
id.sky.com: page survives 30s+, no crash in loop, no crash at close.
firefox-6 was rolled back when its partial-fix hypothesis turned out to
be the wrong root cause. Skipping straight to firefox-7.
- Add profile_dir= kwarg to InvisiblePlaywright (sync + async).
Maps to firefox.launch_persistent_context(); returns a BrowserContext.
Cookies / localStorage / extensions / cache / prefs all persisted.
- Drop the firefox-4 era workaround that filtered locale + timezone_id
out of the persistent kwargs. firefox-5 ships the C++
docShell.overrideTimezone IDL method (50 LOC patch in
docshell/base/nsIDocShell.idl + nsDocShell.cpp, see patch.md
section 19 in feder-cr/invisible-firefox), so per-realm overrides
land without crashing the launch handshake.
- Bump BINARY_VERSION firefox-4 -> firefox-5.
- Sentinel unit tests added: persistent kwargs MUST include locale +
timezone_id (defends against re-introducing the workaround) and
must NOT include timezone_id when timezone="" is the "host TZ" sentinel.
Validation: smoke test against the local firefox-5 build, persistent
context UP in 21s (was 180s timeout), Intl.timeZone == Europe/London,
hardwareConcurrency / screen / DPR / locale all reflect the PIN.
Marker release for the #15 checksum parser fix that landed on main.
First-time fetch was broken for every user since checksums.txt
started shipping with sha256sum's binary-mode `*` prefix.
Fixes#13: every page that threw an uncaught JS error (bunny.net is the
reporter's repro) crashed the Playwright client with
"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'url')".
Root cause: upstream Playwright Juggler added a required `location` field
to the Page.uncaughtError event in their 2026-05-07 patch roll; our fork
was carrying the pre-roll schema in every firefox-N build, and any
Playwright client released after the roll read pageError.location.url
strictly.
Fix is in the patched binary (feder-cr/invisible-firefox@1ba55d93), JS-only
inside chrome/juggler/. xul.dll and firefox.exe are byte-identical to
firefox-3 — only the Juggler protocol files change.
BINARY_VERSION bumped firefox-3 → firefox-4. Package version 0.1.2 → 0.1.4
(0.1.3 was never published to PyPI; the changelog entry is kept as
historical record of the firefox-3 binary release).
BINARY_VERSION bumped from firefox-2 to firefox-3. Both archives on this
release are built from a clean clone of feder-cr/invisible-firefox#stealth/150
(the consolidated source-of-truth fork) at commit 68906f1f9c55.
Changes vs firefox-2:
- Proper C++ jugglerSendMouseEvent (replaces JS workaround from 0.1.1)
- C1+C2: setDownloadInterceptor re-landed
- C4: 5 nsIDocShell stealth attributes
- C5: launcher + wmain juggler-pipe handle inheritance (Win)
- C6: juggler-navigation observer notifications
- C7 (partial): nsIDocShell.languageOverride storage stub
- First native Linux build with the full patch series (previous releases
shipped a stale Linux archive copied from earlier builds)
Verified with the 4-test smoke gate on both Windows and Linux:
- test_launch (pipe stays connected, gap C5 sentinel)
- test_new_page (Page.ready fires, gap C6 sentinel)
- test_mouse (jugglerSendMouseEvent C++)
- test_stealth (navigator.webdriver=false + sannysoft check)
The 0.1.1 release shipped the source-level fix for issue #9 (every
mouse path failing on FF150) but kept BINARY_VERSION at firefox-1
because the archive itself hadn't been refreshed yet. firefox-2 is
now live on GitHub Releases with the JS hot-swap applied to both
the Windows zip and the Linux tarball; users picking up 0.1.2 will
fetch the patched archive on first run.
Archive integrity verified on both platforms before publishing
(Windows boot test, Linux file-level checks, 21/21 assertions).
The Juggler JS in upstream Playwright calls win.windowUtils.jugglerSendMouseEvent
at four sites, but when the Juggler was ported FF146 -> FF150 the matching C++
patch to nsIDOMWindowUtils.idl + nsDOMWindowUtils.cpp was dropped. Result: every
page.mouse.*, page.click(selector), locator.click(), page.hover(), mouse.wheel()
threw "win.windowUtils.jugglerSendMouseEvent is not a function" on first call.
The fix is shipped in the patched Firefox source (feder-cr/firefox-stealth):
six call sites in juggler/protocol/PageHandler.js and juggler/content/PageAgent.js
were swapped to win.synthesizeMouseEvent — a Mozilla chrome-scope helper that is
already present in FF150. scrollRectIntoViewIfNeeded was also guarded at the two
PageHandler.js sites where it was called unconditionally on the FF150
_linkedBrowser, which no longer exposes that method.
This invisible_playwright release adds the regression suite in tests/test_mouse.py
(12 cases inspired by microsoft/playwright-python/tests/async/test_click.py),
the CHANGELOG, and the version bump. The patched Firefox archive on GitHub
Releases must be refreshed before users actually receive the fix; the
BINARY_VERSION bump to firefox-2 will land with that asset.
Reporter: @trob9 (issue #9) — provided ready-to-apply JS patches, 4-line minimal
repro, and confirmed reCAPTCHA v3 = 0.90 holds after the swap.
