egl-wayland: Firefox randomly crashes with "Exiting due to channel error"

Firefox seems to randomly exit during normal usage, say while opening the downloads menu, middle-clicking or right-clicking. It’s not reproducible at all though, happens like once in 2 days or usage.

Not sure if this is an NVIDIA related bug or a firefox bug, but I’ve attached both sway and firefox logs so someone more familiar with this stuff can comment.

nvidia 525.60.11 (Happened on older versions aswell) sway 1.8-rc1 (Happened on older versions aswell) gtk+3 3.24.34 wlroots 0.16.0 wayland 1.21.0

Sway log: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9306380 Firefox log: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9306381

Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1795663

Awesome, I’ll get the patch checked in then. Again, thank you so much for your help.

I think this time it fixes this bug. I’ve tested a lot.

I have the same problem. Gnome 44, Firefox 117, Nvidia 535.104.05. It’s not consistently reproducible but most of the time happens when unmaximizing the window.

I’m having a similar problem, and it is very reproducible. All I have to do to trigger the crash is watch a few minutes of a Youtube video in fullscreen and then exit fullscreen.

I’m using GNOME 44, firefox 116.0.2 and nvidia 535.98.
