Description:
Some combinations of firefox and mesa leads to broken rendering on my system (Nvidia 8800 GTS 320 MB with nouveau driver). Firefox 108 does not work with any version of mesa, while firefox 107 works with mesa 22.1.7 but is broken with newer mesa versions. Disabling hardware acceleration fixes the problem. Additional info: * package version(s) firefox 108.0.1 + mesa (any version) or firefox < 108 with mesa >= 22.2 linux 5.15.82-1-lts |

If:
Firefox 108 (latest)
Mesa (latest)
Then what happens?
The browser does not start?
Does the process appear in the process list after failing to start?
If so, we have the same problem
Latest mesa and firefox along with radeon r7 350.
Since this mesa update firefox is also not working for me.
Of course there is a way around it.
-kill the process dozens of times, after which time you will be able to start firefox.
But I will not elaborate please just confirm if it is the same bug
I would still add that maybe firefox is not a good place for this bug and the culprit may be mesa.
And as for this new tab trick you have to try it after reboot, there must not be any firefox process in the background
