Firefox and waterfox have never caused me any problems. Nothing has changed since the downgrade. Even though I can't determine the exact time frame with absolute certainty, I can rule out that the problems I'm experiencing occurred as early as June 3, 2026, shortly after 2:31 a.m., because I booted another kernel afterward, made a backup, and then restarted Evolution without these problems occurring. It could have happened on June 3, 2026, at the earliest, but if so at a later time. The time frame is between June 3, 2026, and June 13, 2026, but the most likely date is June 13, 2026, itself. On that day, only the following packages "changed": $ grep 2026-06-13 /var/log/pacman.log | grep graded [2026-06-13T10:19:29+0200] [ALPM] upgraded archlinux-keyring (20260420-1 -> 20260612-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded deno (2.8.2-1 -> 2.8.3-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gstreamer (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-base-libs (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-libav (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-bad-libs (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-bad (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-base (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-good (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-ugly (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:31+0200] [ALPM] upgraded ldns (1.9.0-1 -> 1.9.2-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:32+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux (7.0.11.arch1-1 -> 7.0.12.arch1-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:36+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux-docs (7.0.11.arch1-1 -> 7.0.12.arch1-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux-headers (7.0.11.arch1-1 -> 7.0.12.arch1-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded musescore (4.7.2-2 -> 4.7.3-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded node-gyp (12.4.0-1 -> 13.0.0-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded perl-net-dns (1.54-1 -> 1.55-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded python-distlib (0.4.2-1 -> 0.4.3-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded qtractor (1.6.0-1 -> 1.6.1-1) [2026-06-13T10:19:38+0200] [ALPM] upgraded reaper (7.74-1 -> 7.74-2) [2026-06-13T10:24:53+0200] [ALPM] upgraded spectre-meltdown-checker (26.33.0420460-1 -> 26.36.0602723-1) Since I had a problem with gstreamer, I downgraded it along with the kernel, but that didn't help, so I upgraded it again. $ grep 2026-06-16 /var/log/pacman.log | grep downgraded [2026-06-16T10:31:12+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gstreamer (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:12+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-plugins-base-libs (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:12+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-libav (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:13+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-plugins-bad-libs (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:13+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-plugins-bad (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:13+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-plugins-base (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:13+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-plugins-good (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:31:13+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gst-plugins-ugly (1.28.4-1 -> 1.28.3-1) [2026-06-16T10:44:45+0200] [ALPM] downgraded linux (7.0.12.arch1-1 -> 7.0.11.arch1-1) [2026-06-16T10:44:48+0200] [ALPM] downgraded linux-docs (7.0.12.arch1-1 -> 7.0.11.arch1-1) [2026-06-16T10:44:50+0200] [ALPM] downgraded linux-headers (7.0.12.arch1-1 -> 7.0.11.arch1-1) [2026-06-16T21:04:18+0200] [ALPM] downgraded fontconfig (2:2.18.1-1 -> 2:2.17.1-1) [2026-06-16T21:05:31+0200] [ALPM] downgraded lib32-fontconfig (2:2.18.1-1 -> 2:2.17.1-1) $ grep 2026-06-16T11:41 /var/log/pacman.log | grep upgraded [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gstreamer (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-base-libs (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-libav (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-bad-libs (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-bad (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-base (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-good (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:35+0200] [ALPM] upgraded gst-plugins-ugly (1.28.3-1 -> 1.28.4-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:36+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux (7.0.11.arch1-1 -> 7.0.12.arch1-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:39+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux-docs (7.0.11.arch1-1 -> 7.0.12.arch1-1) [2026-06-16T11:41:41+0200] [ALPM] upgraded linux-headers (7.0.11.arch1-1 -> 7.0.12.arch1-1) After gstreamer was upgraded again, I launched eolie from a new user account in a cinnamon session.
