I was a big fan of popos (for a long time) and upgraded to the latest rust based one. However my firefox stopped working (no response for toolbar menu items and buttons).

The work around is to reset your display. After having to do this 5+ times a day (for months), I said sod it and went to ubuntu 22. Sad.

note: failed only my intel nuc, but not on thinkpad x1 carbon.

If anyone is reading this after my comment, please try firefox 150.0. It seems to have resolved it for me.
Not the commenter above. I used popOs 22 for 4-5 yeas daily, and have been quite happy. I was prompted to update to 24 through the system panel, accepted, and after the update was done, I encountered multiple issues with Cosmic. Could not restore, and after futile attempts, wiped and re-installed Ubuntu 22. I do not have a system76 PC, but an older Dell WS. I regret accepting the suggested breaking update.
