Yesterday, I got the Firefox 90 update in unstable. It crashes eversince on wayland. 89 was working fine before that.
Here’s a little summary of the combinations I tried.
On Xorg, everything (90 & nightly) works alright.
On wayland:
Nightly works perfectly
90 crashes at startup or a bit after
90 works in safe mode
Yet 90 doesn’t work with extensions and CSS deactivated
Usually if it works in safe mode, then an extension or the CSS is causing the issue. Here, I’m a bit baffled.
What happens is that it crashes straight away or after a few actions. When it doesn’t crash immediately, tabs are not highlighted when hovering them with the cursor, and doing anything (switching tabs, typing, etc…) is stuck (until you move the window, then it crashes or unlocks).
I saw reports of Arch (and derived) users also having crashes with 90 on wayland.
Any idea what’s causing this? Some parallel update missing?
Thanks. I’m not asking for advice on which browser to use though.
I’d like to hear about others having or not that issue on a similar setup (Firefox 90, wayland, manjaro unstable).
I’ve heard from some Arch users that it solved itself through a different update, so hopefully it’s just a temporary issue.
@jrichard326 Have you had the issue? Did you copy libmozwayland.so from the nightly folder to the common Firefox folder and get it to work that way?
