Due to a bug, Firefox versions 114.0 and 114.0.1 in Tumbleweed are crashing at startup as described here in the bugzlila report,
Bugzilla – Bug 1212101 - Firefox 114.0 and 114.0.1 immediately crashes at startup
So, please avoid updating Firefox to these version in Tumbleweed until this bug is fixed.
Thanks for the information - for those who don’t know, would the recommendation be to use YaST to flag updates as ‘taboo’ before doing a zypper dup?
Yes, that would be a good idea.

This seems again like a special case, as not all systems are affected. Im also using Firefox 114.0.1 from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ as mentioned in the bugreport. Also using KDE Plasma but on my machine it doesn’t crash…
So not a general problem for all users…

I’m on Xfce and this bug is bugging me 
A problem for many users 
Appreciate the post !
114.0.1 works here - two TW desktops and two laptops, KDE Plasma (X11).
FF 115 b also works fine.
I just updated to openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230612 and received
# zypper se -si firefox

which works flawless for me (I’m not using https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ but Tumbleweeds “default” OSS-repository).

Is this an issue also affecting the Flatpak version in Tumbleweed?
