I just updated to the latest Firefox version 100.0.1-1 using Pamac and it no longer launches. When launching it from the console, this is the error:
~ > firefox
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30’ not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox)
Is it broken for everyone else or it’s just me? If it’s everyone I’ll just wait for the next update, otherwise if anyone has a recommendation on how to fix it that would be great.
Not just you. Just did the update, and to cover my steps did a reinstall as well. No dice. Timeshifted back to yesterday till someone fixes the flat tire
Note: both firefox and firefox-i18n need to be downgraded. Don’t know about partial mirror update but I have excluded both from updates from the time being.
I believe i have the same problem after a firefox upgrade to 100.0.1-1? I have had to downgrade back to 100.0-1

If, like me, you don’t keep any pacman cache (and, so, can’t use @srahman5317 trick), you can download a downgrade to the version you want with this command :
sudo DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade firefox
cf doc here : wiki.manjaro[dot]org/index.php/Downgrading_packages
This I what I did too, though I only had firefox to downgrade. Apparently, the break is caused by the GCC version required by firefox being a version ahead of what’s available for stable.
Same here, I just updated Firefox today, only to get an identical result.
I followed the downgrade steps and am now able to run the slightly older version of firefox. I’d like to know when the required fix will happen, and am more than a little cheesed off that I had to downgrade in the first place.
You are going to need to downgrade all the mentioned packages first, before you downgrade FF as far as i can tell, i did not have any of the language packs installed. You can prob just remove them and then re-install.
