If it's a Ubuntu related bug you have to report it to Ubuntu not Mozilla. I guess you have to enable something in the Firefox settings to get it work. I know a few people using Firefox on Ubuntu and never heard about that problem.

Ok but these people you say use the Power version? Because from what I understand, the problem occurs on Power not on X86 ... I wrote in that forum because my friend Amock told me that there was a report made to that site and that they had already tried to solve it but without success. If I knew who is using Firefox on Ubuntu I could ask directly if something should be enabled but I think it is our version of Power that suffers from these annoying bugs ...

I can't give you the exact procedure for Ubuntu (I build on Fedora), so the packages will differ. You'll need, at minimum, Mercurial (hg), Python 3 with pip and dev libraries, gcc, clang, nodejs, rust+cargo and development headers for GTK, and probably other packages I can't think of off the top of my head. Firefox comes with vendored sqlite, NSS and most media libraries, so you shouldn't need those to build (in fact, using the system libraries has sometimes been problematic, so I recommend against it).
Once you have done, get a copy of mozilla-release and use the .mozconfigs I report here (I would start with a debug build first and ensure that works to avoid LTO-PGO variables) like https://www.talospace.com/2022/01/firefox-96-on-power.html and do a ./mach build in the source directory. Also refer to notes on https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.html (minus the bootstrap part, because you already have the proper packages).

Thank you Classic for your always valuable information. Meanwhile, I have good news on the Chromium front, Raptor gave me this link ...

Guys I have noticed a strange thing since I have been using Chromium 97. There are some videos on You Tube that I get errors and they don't load. Then the same videos I go to play them with Firefox and they work regularly. It seems that there has been a step back from Chromium to Power and instead Firefox has taken a decisive step forward. I am using Debian as a distro and like Firefox now version 91.06 ESR has arrived which works really well, by the way I take this opportunity to congratulate my friend Classic for the excellent work he does on Firefox for Power. Returning to Chromium, it is really strange that a browser like him that grinds everything on the web, now has some difficulties. Obviously I have installed all the additional files that Raptor has published together with the main version of Chromium 97 ... Do you have any idea of what happens ...
