Description: Since upgrading to Firefox 86.0-1 I can not
start Firefox anymore. Firefox crashes with the standard
crash handler dialog immediately, and can not even start in
safe mode. This even happens if I move away ~/.mozilla or
even on a fresh user home directory (in KDE Plasma).
As a workaround one can downgrade to 0.85. Re-installing (after downgrade) the crash happens again. Additional info: Firefox-0.86-1, KDE Plasma and using NVidia proprietary drivers (Macbook Pro 5,5). Curiously, another computer using amdgpu does not crash. I'm not sure what information would be relevant / helpful for this bug report - any suggestions are welcome! Steps to reproduce: 1) (Try to) start firefox. Might not happen on all installations, though. |

What I meant, the crash is reproduceable after (re-)upgrading back to 86.0. It does not happen on 85.0.2-1.
Additionally, the user gets the "Were Sorry..." -dialog.
Thank You! :-)
