I'm not having that issue. see screenshot Just downloaded 2 windows iso to run in vm. Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release You can also try refreshing Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

What desktop are you running? X11 or Wayland?

Hello, The option to refresh the firefox did not solve the problem. I installed the firefox using the snap. Running the /snap/firefox/2088/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin does solve the problem. The default way to call Firefox is /snap/bin/firefox and this one has the error (but this is just a link that points to 2088/....)

So, perhaps it might be a issue using the snap?

Thank you.

Which is why I wanted you to download from Mozilla to verify if it's snap issue.
