I upgraded from 20251106 to 20251204 and I did run into a problem -- I 
was going to try 20251205 before I reported anything, but not there yet.

After upgrade, Firefox (and Thunderbird) refused to launch from the 
menu. In a panic, I compiled Firefox from ports and got the same result, 
but this time I tried running it a second time directly from the 
terminal and it gave me a dialog window offering to launch in Safe Mode, 
which worked. Safe Mode disables all extensions, hardware acceleration 
and something else.

My extensions were fine, but I had to disable hardware acceleration to 
get Firefox to launch normally:

Settings > General > Performance

     Uncheck "Use recommended performance settings"

         Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available"

I have never seen this setting, I have never used this setting, I don't 
know if this is due to a change in FreeBSD or Firefox or both.

It was the same story with Thunderbird, but Thunderbird did not 
preemptively provide a Safe Mode dialog when run from the terminal. I 
had to run "thunderbird --safe-mode" to open it so I could disable 
hardware acceleration.

Some background on my system: Lenovo ThinkPad E14, Intel Core i5-1135G7

vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 
device=0x9a49 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x5088
     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = 'TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]'
     class      = display
     subclass   = VGA

According to Lenovo, here:

https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_E14_Gen_2_Intel/ThinkPad_E14_Gen_2_Intel_Spec.pdf

     Intel Iris Xe Graphics capability requires system to be configured 
with dual-channel memory. On the system with single-channel memory, 
Intel Iris Xe Graphics will function as Intel UHD Graphics

Since E14 only has one memory slot, I must be consigned to UHD Graphics, 
but I have no clue as to the implications.

The final important detail is that I recently upgraded from 16GB to 32GB 
(used) RAM, after upgrade to 20251106 but before upgrade to 20251204.

Regards,

Ross

                    swear on "operation not supported" Installed foot
                    and wayfire. By the way, they work. But firefox is
                    not. I discovered that applications that do not run
                    use libm.so.5, but do not seem to use running
                    applications. No other differences are visible yet.
                    I’ll try to compare on github foot and alacritty
                    this evening, maybe I’ll find some kind of pattern.
                    Tomorrow it’s time to try to reinstall the system))</div>

                  <p>I am running a Wayland session on FreeBSD
                    16.0-CURRENT pkgbase from a couple of weeks ago and
                    have not seen these errors.</p>
                  <p>Wayfire is the compositor, and my regular app
                    rotation -- foot, Firefox, Thunderbird -- is as
                    stable as it has been. I am not using XWayland.</p>
                  <p>If there are specific apps you would like me to
                    check let me know.</p>
                  <p>Regards,</p>
