Probably some extension or theme is not working good.
Have you tried to start Firefox in safe mode and disabling each extension, one at a time, to find the culprit?
This link may help you.
However, I found the 5.10 kernel already installed in the latest manjaro iso.
Perhaps the iso should only contain a stable LTS kernel
The reason for this is that the kernel 5.4 (last LTS) unfortunately causes problems with AMD CPUs.
That’s why we opted for kernel 5.10 - despite the shortcomings.

Yeah,
I had a problem with this kernel on my PC which is not a super machine but is AMD, I agree

After the update my Xorg crashes. I found the problem to be the libepoxy package (upgrading from version 1.5.5 to 1.5.7 to be exact). Anyone else experiencing such issue? (KDE, AMDGPU)
If someone have an idea how to debug such issue please help me here Upgrading libepoxy from 1.5.5 to 1.5.7 results in Xorg crashing
Recently, after that update checking for updates (including the AUR) stopped working properly.
It couldn’t query AUR anymore and as a result some of my databases were corrupted. Attempts to update the databases sudo pacman -Syu resulted in:
error: GPGME error: No data
error: failed to update core (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
After several things I tried, the solution suggested in the archived manjaro forum helped to solve the problem:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c all
sudo pacman -Syy
I have two luks partitions:
$ grep luks /proc/mounts
/dev/mapper/luks-d4d370d7-082e-437f-b4ae-84c750147f53 / ext4 rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/mapper/luks-bd4c91ef-b67b-4d8c-a73d-f8f8642b867b /home ext4 rw,noatime 0 0
I used to type in the password only once, but after the last update (the previous Stable one), I have to type it twice: (i) once pre-boot, likely for "/", and (ii) another after booting, likely for "/home". (Yes, you probably guessed right: both partitions have a certain little thing in common). Whether this is bad practice or not, is not the point, but:
Is it somehow possible to revert to the previous behavior of having to type password only once? If so, how? (Command-level explanation, please).
Thanks in advance!
Here’s the non-comment contents of my /etc/crypttab:
# grep -v '^#' /etc/crypttab
luks-bd4c91ef-b67b-4d8c-a73d-f8f8642b867b UUID=bd4c91ef-b67b-4d8c-a73d-f8f8642b867b /crypto_keyfile.bin luks
luks-d4d370d7-082e-437f-b4ae-84c750147f53 UUID=d4d370d7-082e-437f-b4ae-84c750147f53 /crypto_keyfile.bin luks
… and here more info about the /crypto_keyfile.bin:
# ls -l /crypto_keyfile.bin
-rw------- 1 root root 2048 Aug 4 2020 /crypto_keyfile.bin
# file /crypto_keyfile.bin
/crypto_keyfile.bin: data
That says /crypto_keyfile.bin should be used to unlock both those cryptdevices.
Does that unlocking of the /home cryptdevice still work with that keyfile?
If this needs more investigations/fiddling, open a separate thread to not pollute this announcement any further.
Initially I ran the usual upgrade commands in the text console:
Ctrl-Alt-F2
pacman -Syyu
shutdown -r now
This got my system in a state where the display manager would crash and the following messages would be printed in the logs:
systemd-modules-load[531]: Failed to insert module 'nvidia': Exec format error
kernel: nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
systemd-modules-load[531]: Failed to insert module 'nvidia_drm': Exec format error
kernel: nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
systemd[1]: lightdm.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: lightdm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Light Display Manager.
After a quick search through the forums, in the “[Testing Update] 2021-04-26”, I found that Nvidia driver got downgraded to v460 from v465, and to accommodate that downgrade I needed to run these commands:
Ctrl-Alt-F2
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyuu
shutdown -r now
After running those commands everything worked fine and the system came back to normal.
Find an appropriate sub-forum and create a thread there.
For all those who keep asking about the kernel, LTS, etc. - please have a look at the following link.
It shows what is currently changing in the kernel.

Hello, I haven’t done system update in quite some time. Now I’m facing this problem and don’t know what to do.

The Kernel 5.9 is end of life (EOL)
Install 5.10
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
Or
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510 rmc
To remove current Kernel
After that retry to update
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyuu

My system did not notify me about this upgrade.
I noticed malfunctions when I tried to download software using pamac.
Then Discover warned me about having to install a new kernel and language packages.
I concluded I had to refresh mirrors and upgrade via pacman (using the command line)
That’s fine, but I’m not a mind reader…I need the system to tell me when there is an upgrade pending.
Am I experiencing this bug, which a little research led me to:
Python 2 is dead. What do have installed that depends on python2-dbus? Remove that first then upgrade. You can check with:
pacman -Qi python2-dbus
Look at Required By and Optional For in the output.

It does not seem like anything depends on python2-dbus. But I still can’t update,

I don’t know what to do with this one.
If I used pamac, it can update anyway but I don’t know if it’s safe.
Linux 5.9 is end of life. Install Linux 5.10 with the mhwd kernel manager. Then uninstall Linux 5.9, and update.

I also tried with manjaro settings manager.
It said “New kernel packages are ready to install. Would you like to continue?”
pick yes, then looks like it’s success (quick process)
but nothing changed.
EDIT:
Oh wait sorry, maybe ill use the other command.
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510 rmc
hmm no cant use that too

Error: 'rmc' aborted because the kernel failed to install or canceled on removal.
Then I tried to remove the LTS kernel which says “Recomended” then try sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510 rmc but still not working.
Should I also manually remove the one I’m currently using? it sounds dangerous. I want to avoid reinstalling my system.
