Firefox crashes when click on the font selection button in Settings

Hi,

I was trying to change the font in Firefox on a newly set up system using Wayland. When I click on the font selection button in the Setting page, Firefox crashes immediately.

The error msg is shown in the terminal as follow:

ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 3190
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
Exiting due to channel error.

I was wondering if anyone have any idea on this. Would this be a bug or do I miss something?

Thank you!

Having this issue as well.
Crash after selecting font selection button.
Also cannot change Language, Search for more languages ... > Select a language to add, list of languages will not show and continued clicks results in a crash with same errors as yfukokoro.
Also adding tags to bookmarks is not displaying existing tags when typing.

Wayland/Sway latest updates and latest Firefox 101.0.1, open source graphics drivers.

... Firefox on a newly set up system using Wayland.

Not sure if Sway is what you're running, these related Mozilla bug reports might be of interest to you:

[Sway] Firefox crashes/exits with 11 upon using, amongst others, language menu]
