Firefox doesn't work... sometimes

Reinstalling firefox, killing processes, removing profiles (.mozilla) or (.cache/mozilla), removing Firefox lockfile, starting with -safe-mode or -p (also locks up), using the open “new window”/--new-window options, staring with -no-remote, disabling hardware acceleration, cleaning startup cache, removing manjaro-browser-settings, removing language packs, installing ff for developers.

It looks to me, that you changed “alot”… maybe to much?

Can you remember when firefox the first time has problems? Maybe a Addon that causes this problems?

Possible a problem with xfce… who knows. Im using Manjaro KDE with 5.15 LTSC and adjusted with alot custom settings. And no issue at all, since above 2 years Manjaro time.

Edit:
But i also had a VA-API error in Firefox that caused errors in Journal, few month ago… but firefox was still working fine, even with that error messages:

Here is it, how i solved this VA-API problem:

When i open Firefox i see SystemD Coredump errors in journal

I have the same issue on all my installs (unstable and testing branches) and for the sake of me i could only relate to this and was also mentioned in But it should have been fixed by then with the latest updates. The thing is, i see it on unstable too. Edit: It seems that, alt least on Gnome, when i run Wayland session instead of X11, that coredump does not take place. Will try to see if is the case on KDE Plasma, even tho for me was quite unpredictable and got random results every time. E…

I hope it helps.
