   Something is wrong with #Mozilla #Firefox 116 b8 under #PopOS 22.04.

   It keeps hanging, or crashing, when there are #JavaScript interactions.

   What I've tried:
   * Uninstall Firefox
   * Delete all profiles
   * Delete all cache
   * Reboot
   * Install Firefox
   * Test from a fresh installation, Without any customizations and addons/extensions.
   * Disabled HTTP3 (which was the issue for a similar case a year ago).
   * No, I don't have popcorntime installed (which is/was an issue for #Wayland.)
   * I'm using #X11 not Wayland.

   Other information:
   * I can't even login to #Google. After entering my password, the tab just stops working. It stops interacting. No clicks, no tabbing, no arrow cursor.
   * I can't event open `about:support` it hangs.
   * I can't use #Facebook, eventually the tab will stop interacting. No clicks, no tabbing, no arrow cursor.
   * I can't watch videos on #YouTube. If the YT ads play first, it will get stuck there. If the actual video plays first, after a few seconds it will either get stuck at some frame, or just keep playing without any interaction (can't stop, etc.)

   My device:
   * Pop!_OS 22.04 which is #Ubuntu / #Debian based.

   This is totally out of my league. I don't know what else to test.

   So, I switched to #Naver #Whale as my primary #browser for now. It is a #Chromium-based browser from #Korea.

   Oh, one more thing, when I close Firefox, it pops-up an error that it crashed. Since the 116b8 update, Firefox just kept on crashing when closing.

     Good question! Forgot that.

     Just tested it with `--safe-mode` flag and everything works fine.

     Without the flag… found the culprit. See attached file.

     @youronlyone@c.im @youronlyone@firefish.social @Linux@chirp.social @linux@lemmy.ml Have you tried to run it from the terminal to see what errors pop out?

     I disabled hardware acceleration, and the hang-up / crash took longer.

     Then I enabled #Wayland in Pop_OS 22.04 (disabled by default) and switched to it, and now #Firefox 116 b8 is working fine, but with hardware acceleration (without it, it's lagging).

     I guess time to switch to Wayland. ^_^;;

     @youronlyone@c.im @youronlyone@firefish.social @Linux@chirp.social @linux@lemmy.ml hmm. Usually when mesa errors are happening it's a driver issue, but I've never seen it effect just one app before.

     You could try Firefox-ESR.

     @SweetAIBelle

     Tried that, and the hang-up / crash took longer before it happened.

     I guess there's a libEGL / X11 / FF combination that is no longer working fine with 116 b8.

     When I enabled Wayland in Pop_OS 22.04 and switched to it, FF 116 b8 started to work smoothly. Though with hardware acceleration enabled under Wayland.

     How about if you go into settings, uncheck "Use recommended performance settings" and then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available"?

     @youronlyone@firefish.social Update #2:

     It wasn't exactly fixed. Just that, there are some sites that are now affected, and the initial sites I tested are now fine.

     It's like switching to Wayland only changed which sites are hanging-up / crashing.

     This time I can't open any of Amazon's websites, I can't use Google search (just for testing), and other sites.

     @SweetAIBelle Yeah. I thought it was too.

     I wonder what changed. I regularly clear logs, I had cleared my update logs before I noticed something's wrong.

     I'm going to give Firefox from Flathub a try later. Maybe there's some system dependency that's conflicting.

     Ah, all right. Figured it was worth a try, in case the hardware acceleration was the issue...

     For testing new stuff on the webdev side. Also, to know what's next and not get surprised just when it's critical. Like now, I noticed these things when it wasn't a critical day.

     Consider running the stable branch instead of the beta branch? Is there a reason you're using Firefox Beta?
     
     Also consider installing via Flatpak, could resolve some dependency issues as well.
