Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I have been using Firefox (rapid) on my Gentoo Wayland system happily for a year now, until a recent emerge world update (which I ran after a month). There were tons of updates. Firefox updated itself as well. Now, when I try to launch the browser, it crashes with the following error:

Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: glxtest: VA-API test failed: missing or old libva-drm library. (t=0.36718) [GFX1-]: glxtest: VA-API test failed: missing or old libva-drm library.

[1] 1674 illegal hardware instruction (core dumped) firefox

I am not sure where to start debugging this problem. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this error? I have to switched to firefox-bin for the time being.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thanks for the report! Can the crash be prevented by starting Firefox with the following command? (bug 1826583)
$ MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 path/to/firefox
