Re: Browsers won't launch

AFAIK Wayland is only available if you use KDE or Gnome, other DMs default to X (I use Cinnamon and X).
Maybe the issue you are having with Firefox is Wayland/rootless start related.
Maybe it's not showing your apps on your default screen.

Are you starting them from a terminal or from Gnome? Starting them from a terminal may show some useful information.

I don’t even know what Wayland/rootless is to be honest) I don’t know what about the others, but I launched it from the firefox icon. Ps: I also tried it from the terminal, but still nothing started

Re: Browsers won't launch

Good afternoon everyone
Let me remind you that the issue on this topic has already been resolved by installing another working environment (Xfce)
This problem was observed not only by the author of the topic.
This problem, as I understand it, does not exist in the old stable version of "Chimaera"
Further testing of the Gnome working environment in the Daedalus version is possible only by other users
