'''System:''' Arch Linux x86_64 (up to date) Gnome 43.2 Wayland Mesa Intel HD Graphics 530 (SKL GT2) Intel Core i7-6700HQ Nvidia GTX 960M Kernel 6.1.1-arch1-1 Firefox 108.0.1-1 Thunderbird 102.6.1-1 Tor-Browser 12.0.1-1 '''Description and Steps I Tried to Solve:''' Around Dec 2 2022 Firefox, Thunderbird and Tor-Browser stopped starting. I moved every cache and config to a new place so it would create new ones and failed the same way. I created a new user for the system and it would fail the same way. Downloaded Firefox from the site and it would fail the same way. Then I downloaded Firefox, Thunderbird and Tor-Browser as flatpaks and those worked fine. I copied my backups profiles over the flatpak newly generated ones and it still was working fine. '''What I know at this point:''' My profiles, cache and configs are not the problem as those worked at flatpak installations. Whatever the problem is it only affects firefox and derivatives installed running directly over the system as flatpaks operates over its own libraries and runtimes. Whatever the problem is no other software seams to be affected by it. It does not look like it is a problem with a newer version of firefox since it has updated a few times since the problem started, both minor and major versions. It looks like it is not a Firefox (and derivatives) problem by itself but something that is wrong with some other dependency in the system. To be clear: everything was working fine for years up until recently, like 2016-ish. Note: I know Tor-Browser is not developed by Mozilla. I just mentioned it here as a reference of another application that is derived from Firefox that is showing the same problem. '''Logs''' On trying to execute from the terminal those were the responses I get. The troubleshooting information attached is from the Flatpak version. I am sending it just for completeness and maybe there is something I am missing that someone can identify. ----- $ firefox ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 362286 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
