I suspect a core refresh or a system reboot stopped Firefox Beta from running entirely, normally it launches with a transparent window. After reverting twice to get to core (5742), then removing firefox_beta, then refreshing to core (5789), and installing firefox_beta again, I’m back to BMO bug 1501895, I don’t have the error above… I wonder what happened? snap run firefox was working fine but snap run firefox_beta was not…
