Cause

This issue is related to the browser's DNS settings. Firefox may not correctly resolve the local domain name of your machine, causing the mirroring to fail.

Issue/Introduction

When using the Firefox browser to mirror a device via Scout Board, you may encounter a dark screen instead of the expected display.

Additional Information

  • This configuration ensures that Firefox can correctly resolve your machine's local domain, allowing for proper mirroring.
  • If the problem persists, ensure that the machine name is correctly entered and that no DNS conflicts exist in your network settings.
