@sdetweil I’m suspecting it might be an update to the socket.io in the recent 2.29 release which I’m using. I suspect 2.28 or prior my not have this issue

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik 2.29 uses socket.io 4.8 where 2.28 uses 4.7.5

you could install 4.7.5

cd~/MagicMirror 
npm remove  socket.io
npm install socket.io@4.7.5

i have company today so it will tomorrow really before i can test

@sdetweil I reverted back to socket.io@4.7.2 that was used on MagicMirror@2.26.0 and that fixed the issue! I tried socket.io@4.7.5 but that didnt work. So I went back to @4.7.2 and that fixed it. It might just be a compatibility issue with Firefox ESR. Mystery Solved! Thanks for all your help!

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik awesome!!! thanks for the feedback

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Thanks for all you do to help the MM community!

@rushmuzik that change to socket.io@4.7.2 didn’t help my pi0w MM with firefox (running on next release or 2.29.0)

@rushmuzik
I had to change the code to add an increased timeout for fetch…
which required node 20.18.1
then the 4.8 socket.io worked with the surf browser

couldn’t get firefox to work

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil For some mysterios reason it worked for me for 10 good minutes then crashed. I still don’t know what caused it to work that period. How is the overal experience with Surf Browser? Would you recommend I use that instead?

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik my surf based system has bern running for 3 days without trouble

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil I have two followup questions.

1. How do I install that surf based system.
2. Do you know how I can nun Node@20.17.0 or greater on a pie zero?
