Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable MOZ_WAYLAND_ENABLE=1 (running Sway)
  2. Force enable hardware acceleration (set layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true)
  3. Close all Firefox windows and kill all processes
  4. Open Firefox using "firefox --new-window" (default of .desktop file)

Actual results:

No Firefox window is opened when using the --new-window flag (such as in the .desktop file), but it opens successfully when running "firefox" in a terminal.

Expected results:

A new window should have opened, which is the case on Xorg.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

I can't reproduce on Fedora 31 / Firefox 72. Can you attach a backtrace of the crash or link to mozilla crash report? You can find them at about:crashes.
Thanks.

Ah, sorry, it seems that I misdiagnosed the situation on my part.

After killing all Firefox processes, Firefox does not launch when opened from wofi, but does by running with the --new-window flag. After trying to launch from wofi, using firefox --new-window does not work. I was confused as I tried the --new-window flag only after I tried wofi.

However, from wofi, none of the options (main option, new window, or new private window) work.

My desktop file executes /usr/lib/firefox/firefox --new-window %u, but it doesn't seem to be the problem either as it works from the command line.

There aren't any crash reports in about:crashes. Is there anywhere else I can find logs?

Once again, apologies for getting confused by the problem.

Okay, Thanks.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

This sounds like a wofi issue, possibly just a usage issue. The listed configuration Works For Me™.

Can you please confirm that this is still an issue, and that you suspect it's caused by firefox? For wofi/sway assistance, I'd recommend #sway@irc.freenode.net.
