Firefox *always* crashes in emulated x86-64 Ubuntu VM on M1 Mac

[freebrowser1]

Describe the issue
Running Firefox (122 or later, including 127) in Ubuntu results in a crash of Firefox. Sometimes it loads shortly and sometimes it crashes immediately.
Other browsers (Brave or Vivaldi x86-64 version) do run normally.

I had the issue in Ubuntu 22.04LTS and I installed a fresh 24.04LTS, in both it is reproducible.

Strange that all apps work normally except Firefox, so it should be a combination of Firefox and QEMU.
Do I use the wrong QEMU parameters ?

Configuration

• UTM Version: 4.4.5
• macOS Version: 14.5
• Mac Chip : M1

Crash log
The VM or UTM did not crash, but Firefox.

Do you try with other browser? I see that you are using Snap, try avoid Snap or Flat firstly.

Yes, I tried Vivaldi, same issue (under Linux Lite, an XCFE4 version of Ubuntu 24.04 and Xubuntu 22.04.
None of these Linuxes contain Snap or Flatpak.
I removed them as well from ARM VM and on a Raspberry Pi device, because snap is a resource hog.

Here the log of Vivaldi when started from Terminal.
