Firefox not working properly in Ubuntu at WSL

cn flag

not sure if to post this in this forum or in a Windows one.

I have Ubuntu installed in Windows Subsystem for Linux, WSL. I have ubuntu-desktop installed and working using VcXsrv. Every time I execute:

export DISPLAY=:0
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
sudo service dbus start
sudo service x11-common start
gnome-shell --x11 -r

And works fine. The point is that if I open Firefox, the web browser is a white page and not able to load any page, if I write something in the search bar, it disappears when I press enter. I get this on the terminal:

I tried another approach also:

/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe

This opens Firefox at Windows, the problem is that if I want to open a .html file, I get Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

Any idea?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
