When I open Firefox and call up bing maps , it starts to load the page , then Firefox crashes . Has been doing this for several firefox versions . Looking at the crash report , I always get "The debug symbols are missing for firefox. Please install firefox-dbg." but I can't find firefox-dbg to load

FYI ffmpeg version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Thanks for your help . Whilst seeing if I could select the KDE desktop from the login screen (nope) I noticed that cinnamon was selected too software rendering , Bing maps now works with cinnamon default mode selected Thanks again

I'm not having any issues with the site. see screenshot

What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?

Did you try Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?

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

Linux mint 21.1 ,Cinnamon ,X11, will run in troubleshoot mode , but still crashes if I turn off "All" the extensions in normal mode when bing maps starts to load , This may also occur when certain weather map were loaded (sorry forgot which one). Firefox currently 126.0.1 (64 bit) , has been crashing for several previous releases on bing maps. Will have a go at new reload from mozilla.

What happens in KDE? You can also run a live usb stick of Mint or openSUSE to see if you have the same issues. Just for S&Gs, what version of ffmpegs are you running?

interesting... Can you show where that was selected? Sounds like you will need to install KDE if you want the option to show on the login screen

Your correct , I suspect that KDE would also appear . Can't do a screen dump from mint login screen , but next to user name there is a cinnamon button , where you can select desktop , cinnamon (default) or cinnamon (software rendering) in my setup
