[Solved] Firefox is not opening

Yesterday onwards, in my arch Linux, firefox is not opening. I tried following things
1) reinstalling,
2) installing beta version,
3) downloading new version from Mozilla site
4) removing ~/.mozilla directory
5) try to run in safe mode (firefox --safe-mode)

Nothing worked. When trying from command line I am getting only some GTK+ warning nothing else

(firefox:3602): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-dark.css:2715:25: 'gtkopacity' is not a valid color name
(firefox:3602): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-dark.css:2725:15: Junk at end of value for padding
(firefox:3602): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-dark.css:2784:13: Junk at end of value for padding
(firefox:3602): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory of theme EvoPop has no size field
...............................................

Thanks

Re: [Solved] Firefox is not opening

Finally I resolved it. Problem is something related to gnome-wayland. When I moved to gnome-xorg firefox started to working.

Re: [Solved] Firefox is not opening

For both mine and future reference I was wondering how. Did you manage to get firefox working on a wayland instance of Gnome? I have xorg-server-wayland running of course
