Public bug reported:
Full disclosure: I use Firefox from Mozilla repo, not from Snap because
of lack of support to 1Password.
I tried access one site, Dell's website (but the same with AMD's website), and
Firefox just crashed and asked to report a bug. If I execute on console I just
get one line multiple times: 'Exiting due to channel error.'.
I found a bug report for Firefox that has a comment about a folk that get a tip
to compile libwebp without LTO.
I did the same, and worked! I used `apt source libwebp7` to get the
source and `apt build-dep libwebp` to install the dependencies. Than I
executed `export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=optimize=-lto` to disable LTO
and compiled from source with `dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b`. No
changes in the code. Installed all relevant packages and browser started
behaving correctly.
** Affects: libwebp (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) => libwebp (Ubuntu)
