I’m going to use this guide to downgrade Firefox to something around version 127 or below because I did not have this issue with earlier versions of FF.

Btw where does Firefox store crash logs? I typed “about:crashes” in the URL bar but it says that “No crash reports have been submitted”. I have also used journalctl to find these errors but I’m not sure how relevant they are:

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop[15004]: Exiting due to channel error.

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop[49355]: [Parent 2, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion ‘str_array != NULL’ failed: ‘glib warning’, file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187

firefox-bin[49355]: g_strv_length: assertion ‘str_array != NULL’ failed

in firefox you could export bookmarks and passwords but be aware that passwords will be exported in plain text.

because its running as flatpak, the exported files should be somewhere in $HOME/.var/app/

@sun_is_ra @KickassWomen You can run Firefox as flatpak, snap, or you can use the Mozilla repository and install as .deb package. However no matter which way you use it, the video is broken on some Youtube videos, Bitchute has no audio, and Netflix won’t play at all, which is why I switched to Thorium.

@sun_is_ra Great, what OS are you running, what release? I’m on Ubuntu-Mate 24.04, did not have issues with 22.04, but Thorium is working fine on 24.04.

For me sites like YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, and Bitchute work but unfortunately this version of flatpak Firefox is giving me problems.
