I'm using Flatpak Firefox (version 131.0.3) and it keep freezing especially on sites like YouTube. How do I transfer my bookmarks and passwords to an earlier version of FF without using Sync? in c/[email protected]

Interesting, I have never tried this before.

I'll try out your solution and get back to you.

For me sites like YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, and Bitchute work but unfortunately this version of flatpak Firefox is giving me problems.

It uses Google's Chromium engine, that's the problem.

I appreciate your recommendation but I'm boycotting Google and as much of its tech as possible—that's why I was using Firefox.

I'm going to use this guide to downgrade Firefox to something around version 127 or below because I did not have this issue with earlier versions of FF.

Btw where does Firefox store crash logs? I typed "about:crashes" in the URL bar but it says that "No crash reports have been submitted". I have also used journalctl to find these errors but I'm not sure how relevant they are:

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop[15004]: Exiting due to channel error.

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop[49355]: [Parent 2, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187

[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video.. in c/[email protected]

Thank you, this resolved my issue.

I read the wiki and changed "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "VA-API video decoder".

My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it's set to "VA-API video decoder" VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.

I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?

Update:

Changing “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder” fixed the issue. Now VLC is able to play mp4 files with hardware acceleration without any issues.

Tried it. I don't think there's anything to upgrade:

I don't know if it updated my video driver. I just used this command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

I'm using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn't resolve the issue. Here's an excerpt from the VLC's log file:

glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaDeriveImage: operation failed

main error: video output creation failed

main error: failed to create video output

avcodec info: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding

How do I resolve this issue?

like Debian Stable has packages from this century

You can set up Debian 12 to use Flatpak. I use it and it works well.
