Nvidia has filed bug 6924256 for a crash inside its own EGL library that takes Firefox down under Wayland, but it has not reproduced the DirectX 12 half of the same bug report. An Nvidia moderator posted both verdicts on October 14 in the company’s own 615 release feedback thread, writing that the Wayland crash reproduced and “bug 6924256 have been filed for tracking purpose”.

This is not an Xid 109 bug. The four Xid 109 tracking bugs Nvidia filed through early October all cover GPU-level hangs, while this one is a null-pointer dereference in Nvidia’s own userspace EGL library.
The report went up on September 20 and says applications using hardware-accelerated EGL rendering “consistently crash inside libnvidia-eglcore.so.615.71.09 due to a null-pointer dereference”, with Firefox 156.0 on WebRender and WebGL as the example. The crash is a SIGSEGV at address 0xc, with the top two stack frames inside Nvidia’s EGL library and the third inside Firefox’s own libxul.
Disabling hardware…
