Bug Description

When running firefox from the terminal, I get:

[Parent 6541, Main Thread] WARNING: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not connect: No such file or directory: 'glib warning', file /build/firefox/parts/firefox/build/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:167

This looks similar to bug #2008279. The symptoms are similar, that is, all text input to firefox is discarded or doesn't reach firefox.

I do not have the skill to pinpoint the bug, but I am happy to try any suggested experiments.

firefox 114.0a1 works fine. So maybe the bug is only with firefox 112.0.1-1 and there is nothing wrong with snapd or glibc?

firefox 113.0b7-1 also works fine. So only the stable channel is broken.
