User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0
Steps to reproduce:
When I start Firefox i see back screen and nothing more. I have to kill the app with Alt+F4 (or something like that) and then I have to start it again. Only then it works.
This happens every time when I log-in into my Gnome account. This is not really a crash. It is just a black screen with loading icons and the app is not responsive.
I'm using Archlinux with Gnome 44.1 and Wayland.
I have tried to disable all extensions - didn't work.
I have tried to stop the tabs syncing between devices - didn't work.
I have tried to log-out of my mozilla and pocket account - didn't work.
I have tried to delete all cached content (1.5GB) - didn't work.
I have tried to disable the hardware acceleration - didn't work.
I have tried to rename all mozilla folders in my home directory so that it looks like a fresh install - didn't work.
This issue starts occurring after I upgraded to Firefox 113.
Actual results:
I have made a video on the issue. There I start Firefox from the terminal. On the first start it shows the back screen. After that I kill the app with ctrl+c and then start it again and then it works. This happens every time when i restart my linux or I log-out of my gnome account and then log-in again.
Expected results:
It should show the Firefox application.

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!
This is a Gnome Xwayland bug (bug 1788205) and should be fixed by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2970.
Please test if this problem can be avoided by starting Firefox with this command:
$ MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox
To use MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 by default, you can either:
a) Add export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 to the end of /home/yourusername/.profile to set it permanently for your user account.
$ echo -e "\nexport MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" >> ~/.profile
It takes effect after logout&login or a reboot.
b) Switch to Firefox Nightly which already uses MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 by default (bug 1543600): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-nightly
Thank you vary much @Darkspirit!
This suggestion fixed the issue.
Thank you again for the fast replay and have a good day!
Cheers!
