… and have you tried any of the suggestions made in this thread here?

@ictmw

Avoid adding your Support issue to that of another member. The topic is theirs, and theirs alone. You are welcome to help them, but not to hijack the thread for your own benefit, no matter how similar the topic may be to your issue.

See Forum Rules: Thread Hijacking

Please help others to help you, by providing your system information as described (below) along with any other detail that might be relevant.

I’m sure someone will help when they are able.

Regards.


What follows is from a standard template.

Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

Note: By virtue of using the Manjaro forum you acknowledge and agree to follow Rules and Guidelines outlined; so, you really should read them:

Required Reading
Highly Recommended

Work with us, not against us

It is important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem. Please also be prepared to provide output from commands if/when asked.

Simply waiting for others to ask you questions is counter-productive – typically, nobody has a :crystal_ball: at their disposal – and your clear, concise and accurate input is often relied upon in order to help you.

Please help others to make informed suggestions based on information you provide.


System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

Suggested inxi command (use either):

inxi -zv8 (short-form)
inxi --filter --verbosity=8 (long-form)
inxi man pages (manual)
Running `inxi` within a `chroot` environment
  • Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
  • Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0
Your privacy is respected

As suggested by Pillgar ( After update Firefox crashes every 10 minutes - #14 by Pillgar ), I installed mesa-amber from the official manjaro repos and it is no longer crashing.
