Firefox-123.0.1,2 wont open for me at all

starting firefox from the terminal didnt show any error messages
or anything at all that might narrow down the issue

I renamed the ~/.mozilla directory just to make sure it wasnt the profile

made no difference
Firefox didnt even create a new ~/.mozilla directory when i tried to open it

I uninstalled Firefox
and then installed the previous version the /var/cache/pkg directory

Just a heads up in case anyone else has the same issue

Tried launching the latest Firefox on another machine and got the same issue
so looks like the latest release is broken
 
interesting. I'm running that right now without issues.
what window manager/desktop environment?
have you tried starting in safe mode? firefox --safe-mode from the command line
 
im using dwl on wayland
same issue on macbook air 2011 and dell xps 15

running firefox on the command line doesnt show any output

both machines are running wayland with moz enable wayland

Code: 
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
 
It looks like you are on quarterly but FreeBSD13 or 14 ?
It won't help but I just want to let you know that being myself on FreeBSD13 with latest packages I don't face this issue.
Code: 
~ : uname -rms ; pkg info firefox | grep Version
FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p10 amd64
Version        : 123.0_4,2
~ :
~ : grep url /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",

I found a bug report about the version 123 but it doesn't seem related to this problem, so I don't know, could it be a Wayland thing?
 
cheers mate, im on 14 p5

thanks for the link,
i downgraded to the previous version for the moment

i did notice this message
not sure if that would temporarily fix the issue

Meanwhile, I'm using this workaround:
Click to expand...
Code: 
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libm.so.5 firefox
 
Maybe its a Wayland issue then
thanks for the feedback mate

Ill stick with the previous version for a while
this is where /var/cache/pkg comes in handy just being able to install a previous version

also a good reason not to completely clear the cache
 
I can confirm the fix pointed out by monwar works

in my ~/.zshenv

Code: 
export MOZ_DISABLE_WAYLAND_PROXY=1

after setting that in my shell and sourcing my zshenv

Code: 
source ~/.zshenv

Firefox opens from the terminal

and after a reboot Firefox now opens from my application launcher

Great stuff monwar good detective work

I should have looked on the ports messages, my bad

Ill mark this as solved
