[SOLVED] Firefox/Thunderbird missing some letters/icons after update.

After recent update Firefox and Thunderbird don't render some of the letters and icons (Firefox only).
The same letters/icons can disappear in one moment and then appear after, for example, browser restart or some actions. Example: Firefox's back, forward and reload icons first disappeared, but returned after I made switch from dark to light theme and back. Didn't fix the letters, though.
DE: GNOME on Wayland with "NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3060 Laptop GPU". Switching to X11 via "GDK_BACKEND=x11" didn't help. Didn't have any problems before.
No problems with other apps were detected.

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox/Thunderbird missing some letters/icons after update.

While pondering your issue this morning I had little to offer..
I thought qt6-base? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p2235755

*edit: I had read that they have their own internal rendering, but both FF and Thunderbird seemed odd..

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox/Thunderbird missing some letters/icons after update.

FF/TB don't use Qt, though.
Looks like the font rendering got broken - somehow.


FF and TB are both in the update list, what if you downgrade only them?

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox/Thunderbird missing some letters/icons after update.

Sorry for not responding for a long time! Tried downgrading qt6-base, didn't help. And it shouldn't according to Seth.
Downgrading Firefox didn't help either: https://imgur.com/a/kX58Oi8

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox/Thunderbird missing some letters/icons after update.

So, after some additional search I've found this discussion: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1351371
It occurred that problem was in hardware acceleration. Disabling it helped for both Firefox and Thunderbird.
I really don't know if problem is in my hardware (gaming works fine), drivers, etc. It may be anything afaik.
It's a silly I didn't manage to get to that topic in the first time. Just should've used different words for search request.
Thanks everyone for your help! Marking topic as solved.
