Hello,
I'm running Debian unstable with XFCE on an arm64 chromebook
(rk3399-gru-kevin). Firefox could no longer draw a browser window when I
upgraded it to version 98. Process manager programs show Firefox and its
child processes are running, but nothing user-visible happens.
Downgrading to 96.0.3-1 works, but since there's a downgrade protection
on profiles I also had to run 'firefox --allow-downgrade' to get it to
use my profile. That's discouraged that as it might cause data loss
(bookmarks, history etc.), and it's hard to discover when your browser
isn't working.
Seems to be an already-reported upstream bug [1]. An Ubuntu maintainer
tracked it down to a crossbeam upgrade and has a workaround patch in a
“PPA for Ubuntu Mozilla Security Team” [2], hope that's helpful here as
well (so I tagged as 'patch').

This is fixed with the recent Firefox 99 upload, thanks!
