It feels like the problem is to do with socket-activated Xwayland. I can suppress the issue where firefox remains black, by editing my .desktop file to run "xlsclients" first. I.e.:
Exec=/bin/bash -c "xlsclients; MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 /home/alan/firefox-104.0.2/firefox/firefox" Similarly, the issue with gedit drawing square window border corners is suppressed if I use Exec=/bin/bash -c "xlsclients; GDK_BACKEND=x11 gedit" (With less confidence: it seemed that if I ran weston, then "Xwayland :2", then "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 DISPLAY=:2 firefox", then the resulting firefox window was usable). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987976 Title: firefox black window Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: nicolas@nicolas-fixe:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 nicolas@nicolas-fixe:~$ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installé : 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 Candidat : 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 Table de version : *** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status When I boot Ubuntu and start Firefox, the Firefox's window is totally black.
