@BryanLiang thanks, pushed a fix with that patch. Unfortunately, I can't include the patch on AUR as it exceeds AUR's max file size limit (~488KiB) so it'll have to be downloaded from Gitlab.

I built fail in clean chroot, here is the build log: https://pastebin.com/raw/ikYigyc5.

It seem that it needs a patch: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/firefox/-/commit/5577acf6c2a83d81ffa538885f1b6258ed32d7db

Adopted package and updated to 125.0.3. Wayland proxy patches have been dropped as they have been upstreamed, and PGO seems to work correctly once again.

wayland-proxy patches are no longer needed as of Firefox 123.

I get basically the same error. My knowledge here is very limited; but it seemingly has to do with mesa, starting somewhere at 23.3.3? See aur/mesa-git comments.

Under X11 with Nvidia (not sure if relevant) PGO build fails with:

It seems like VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY is a red herring, there is plenty of VRAM available. Non-PGO build works fine.

Just an info -> i was only able to compile 122 in a full wayland session. X11 or a terminal werent able to run the requiered tests with and zink environment.

X11: zinkrun glxgears

DRI3 not available
failed to load driver: zink
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

gamescope with a terminal inside wasn't enough it broke once it should have started the test session with the compiled firefox

a tty (aka login shell / terminal) did complain it couldn't start the tests either

I got it compiled under plasma wayland but othere wayland based environments might work too. I also needed to close the spawned firefox window ...

@deemon Included the wayland proxy patches per your suggestion. Appreciate the feedback! Maybe create a ticket for the regular firefox package in the repos to include these patches as well?

deemon, you can download the prebuilt package from here (or take the patch and add it to the build): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:drommer:archlinux/firefox-kde-stable.

P.S. Please let me know if it works as expected.
