[Solved] Firefox crashes with nvidia 555 driver

It might be a nvidia problem, as initially there is no problem under hyprland after I switch to it.
But it seems like it goes quite bad after I change the nvidia 535 to 555, not sure if 555 cause this.

Following is tried in a clean profile:

As far as I see  it crashes when:
Wayland(Hyprland):
playing youtube video, immediately crashed -- working under --safe-mode
opening pdf file, immediately crashed --working under -safe-mode
opening webgl site, immediately crashed -- disabled under --safe-mode

XWayland( Hyprland, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 ):     #notice that hyprland needs to be patch in order to change MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND
playing youtube video, seldomly randomly crashed
opening pdf file, immediately crashed
opening webgl site, immediately crashed

X11(dwm):
all works as far as I see

Re: [Solved] Firefox crashes with nvidia 555 driver

both 550 & 555 had issues, current version in repos is 560.35.03-1 .

Have you tried that version (just run a full update with pacman -Syu) ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Yeah it seems like upgrade to 560 fixes it.
