Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2020-07-25 09:35:05 UTC 
Please try to enable webrender as a workaround (see https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/20/firefox-webrender-rollout-begins-with-the-release-of-firefox-67/)
This should be fixed in Firefox 79.

Please try new builds from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=48093962
Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2020-07-30 07:33:01 UTC 
You can also use firefox-x11 package as a workaround.
Comment 5 Martin Stransky 2020-07-31 10:20:24 UTC 
Should be fixed by https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-856ae65766, please reopen if not.
Thanks.

I'm assuming version 80 already has the fixes above?

Can you reproduce it reliably? If so can you please try to run Firefox with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 env variable on terminal and attach the log here?
like:

WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 firefox > log.txt 2>&1

and attach the log.txt here.
Thanks.

Created attachment 1721153 [details]
WAYLAND_DEBUG log

Hit something similar, I had this in my journal at the time when firefox crashed:

Oct 13 10:55:17 cizrna gnome-shell[3667]: WL: error in client communication (pid 20787)

> Can you reproduce it reliably?

I can't - I don't think so.

I am considering to switch to Xorg, because it is quite annoying.

I think this is probably the same as bug 1888920?
Comment 10 Martin Stransky 2020-10-26 21:11:48 UTC 
Yes, seems to be dupe of Bug 1888920.

Comment 11 Jens Petersen 2020-10-27 07:29:18 UTC 
Actually after tweaking my earlyoom settings (to take swap into account too) I haven't seen a crash in days...?! 😬
