I install the latest version of firefox 110.0.1 (64-bit) as snap on 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) running on WSL-2

WSL version: 1.1.3.0 Kernel version: 5.15.90.1 WSLg version: 1.0.49 MSRDC version: 1.2.3770 Direct3D version: 1.608.2-61064218 DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp Windows version: 10.0.22624.1391

While Firefox is running OK I'm seeing a number of error messages. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix/debug

Your issue is with the snap version, do you have the same issues with Firefox from Mozilla? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
