I did the following workaround:

and it works.

What exact version of firefox (rpm -q firefox) do you have? We fixed this issue in recent build.

Comment 3 aloraini.omar@gmail.com 2022-01-07 17:24:08 UTC

Version: firefox-91.4.0-1.el9.x86_64
I did a 'yum update', but there seems to be no new updates. Maybe my mirror is a bit stale.

So this is dup of Bug 2013247 for sure. If you don't mind I will closed this one of dup of Bug 2013247.

Not sure if you have access to latest rhel9 bits or what repos are you using, eventually Centos Stream should already include fixed firefox-91.4.0-3.el9.
