Firefox Take Screenshot And Freeze

The firefox does not start properly. About one half of the time I start it, it takes a screenshot of the desktop and freeze here forever. Only the edge of the window is visible, but nothing appears inside.

When, I use selenium, and some times I try selenium.Firefox() and it also goes into this weird mode. However, the functionality does not break, my script still run correctly, just nothing changed inside the firefox.

I guess some thing wrong about the kde has to do with it.

And the output of normal start up is.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @Yubo,

That kernel has been EOL (End Of Life) for some time. It is recommended you switch to aa diffferent one, preeferably LTS (Long Term Support).See if that fixes your issue, before anything else.

Hope this helps!
