I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and firefox 133.0 from snap. When I launch firefox from the command line I get these warnings but it does launch. When I select new window from the firefox icon in Favorites, the hour glass spins and spins and then quits with no new firefox window appearing. What should I do to get a new firefox window when I click on the Favorites icon?

I am losing my mind!! Firefox shows "your tab just crashed" all the time. It works fine in Troubleshooting Mode. I tried your suggestions such as: disable add-ons & turn off accelerator, reloaded new firefox. These do not solve the problem. I have been with you for years and this is the first time a problem. I am not very computer literate at 82 years old. I am totally lost and need your help!
