Frequent crashing on Chromebook

Hi,

At some point in the last couple of weeks, I've started running into very frequent crashes running Firefox in the Linux container on my Chromebook. It previously worked well, but is now unusable. I'm now running Firefox version 147.0.3 on Chrome version 144.0.7559.167. This is after I did a clean reinstall of Firefox using flatpak, which didn't help. It seems like it often happens when my mouse hovers over a browser tab or icon (eg account, extensions, hamburger). Other quirky display behaviour, which mayor may not related, is that videos are often not working (eg Youtube, BBC), and various browser windows (eg when selecting Manage Bookmarks, or restarting in safe mode), open a small size-reduced window. Latest crash reports below -

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have resolved the issue by removing Firefox and installing Firefox-esr (the extended support release). All the issues I was having appear resolved. My research suggests the issue was some kind of communication failure between Firefox’s native Wayland protocol and Sommelier, the bridging service that translates Linux graphics for the Chromebook display. For other users reference, I installed Firefox-esr using apt.

Hi John,

All of your crash reports indicate that Firefox loses connection to Wayland (and, treating this as a fatal error, crashes). I believe we have bug 1890074 for this issue, but I'm not sure about its state. I suggest that you add your context to the bug and, if you want, try to ask the assignee if they have any tips.

You can also post any reply here to ensure the question remains discoverable for other contributors.
