I just wanted to say, me too. Just upgraded FireFox 100.0-1 → 100.0.1-1 and now I’m getting the following error:
$ firefox
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox)
I guess I’m gonna pile on this here and say it has happened to me as well.
Same problem here…

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.
Thanks, but it didn’t work for me.
How did it even get onto the stable channel when it has missing dependencies?
EDIT: I restored with Timeshift.

For some reason, your “downgrade” is showing (100.0.1-1 => 100.0-0.1) , but 100.0-0.1 is incorrect!
Try:-
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/firefox-100.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
I have the same issue here. I’ll use Opera in the meantime and wait for a fix.
Downgrade did not work for me - what did I wrong ?

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 need to downgrade both firefox and firefox-i18n in this case. I had to do so as well but apparently some folks haven’t had to.
Firefox Developer Edition installs and works. It’s a fix for now. Firefox sync, and you’re back up and running.
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.
I have been using v100 since it’s release - no issues
$ inxi -S
System:
Host: tiger Kernel: 5.17.7-1-MANJARO arch: x86_64 bits: 64
Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 5.24.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux
While there is several mention for downgrade - I’d suggest the following course of action
Switch your Plasma theming to the default Breeze and run
sudo pacman-mirrorss -aS unstable && sudo pacman -SyyuBroken for me also.
I did a sudo pacman -R firefox-i18n-en-ca firefox-i18n-en-us firefox
followed by sudo pacman -U firefox-99.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst in the appropriate folder.
Firefox 100 packages got wrongly forwarded. Unstable branch has a newer toolchain. I’ve reverted the changes by deleting the overlay packages: [manjaro-packages] [BoxIt] Memo (x64). Please issue a regular sudo pacman -Syyuu to downgrade to the working firefox version.

Did not work for me. I used this from above. sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/firefox-100.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/firefox-i18n-en-us-100.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
