Need more information, can you test using https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html? Does it crash here as well?

screenCapture and tabCapture doesn't show me the captured content they just show success, except them others seems to be working fine, even i am shocked why do i get crashes in Discord when talking to someone, even though here it works fine(the microphone testing part)

More platforms that i have witnessed crashes - Discord (ASAP as i enter in any room) Cisco WebX (ASAP as entering) Not in Google meets for some reason, it works fine

This could be related as zen browser was crashing for me last night when I was visiting this site.

https://us.espres.so/

Does a notification pop up at the bottom for you saying speech dispatcher library is missing?

Due to speech-dispatcher missing I was getting console errors such as "No such JSProcessActor 'BrowserToolboxDevToolsProcess'" and "Actor 'Conduits' destroyed before query 'RuntimeMessage' was resolved".

After installing the speech-dispatcher library, no more crashes.

@Barmanji Can't reproduce.

@purpxd Website works just fine, no crashes in a fresh installation on both Linux and Windows.

well guess what now it works fine, i mean mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html-ThisLink? Also when i tested it didnt show any thing like speech dispatcher is missing either in console, or down or in any popup.

Even I can't haha, Well the main problem remains consistent of discord keeps crashing when joining any lobby with people being in that room or webex Cisco.

well well well @0Ky @purpxd turns out i am dumb, and i haven't checked what version i was on, I was on 1.0.2.b.2 (Ancient from novemeber'24) for some reason in my arch (hyprland) yay -Syu and pacman -Syu didn't decide to update all the pacages without anyone being ignored (you can ignore some packages if you dont want to update) also it showed FULL SYSTEM UPGRADED everytime, like OMFG.

Now its fixed and working, sorry for bothering haha. One more issue arrived though, now when i press Ctrl+T for opening new tab, it opens url bar and not any default tab, i have seet defualt tab/new tab in settings but it doenst seems to be working. And yes now i am on latest build ( firefox 139 and ZEN 1.12.8b)

@Barmanji That's not an issue, it's a feature. Have a look at the docs (New Tabs), you can enable the legacy new tab page by setting zen.urlbar.replace-newtab preference to false.

Also can you tell me how do I make my URL bar content centered, there seems to be a mod before but in updated version its gone. well closing the issue coz mostly issues are resolved.

@Barmanji Check Zen Mods for what ever mod you're looking for, if it's not there then create a userChrome.css file to add your own custom style to the browser. You can follow step 1 and 2 from the docs and add the following CSS to center the floating URL bar:

#urlbar[open][zen-floating-urlbar='true'] {
  position: absolute !important;
  top: 50% !important;
  left: 50% !important;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%) !important;
}
