Description Katerina Koukiou 2023-10-06 08:46:04 UTC 
In the new anaconda installer we use firefox. Our test suite resgressed as of firefox-118.0.1-3.fc40: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-ccc1eba684 

The error I see is:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so:
libvpx.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.


Reproducible: Always

It's missing libvpx.so library. We switched to use system libvpx instead of bundled one. So pull libvpx from Fedora repos.
