Comment 5 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-11-08 14:27:53 UTC
This doesn't sound like a problem in the package, more like a problem in the software itself. Please report this upstream.
Comment 6 Markus Goppelt 2020-11-11 16:02:51 UTC
I reported the problem.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1676160

Unfortunately the bug report hasn't even been assigned yet. I will check if the problem persists with version "78.4.2".
Comment 7 Markus Goppelt 2020-11-11 17:07:33 UTC
Same problem with "78.4.2".
