What DE is this on, GNOME? If so, try first launching a GNOME on Xorg session, then logging out again and launching a regular GNOME (Wayland) session. Sounds similar to an issue with vulkan some people have been experiences in the Wayland session.
Oh yeah, maybe also try running vkcube. If it exits with a segfault it's probably this issue
Staudey This system is running Budgie. I know budgie and gnome share components but it didn't seem to be an issue with vulkan. Running vkcube worked perfectly fine both when a regular tab of firefox was open and when a youtube tab was opened and playing video. I was able to open up the programs in either order and things worked fine.
It almost seems like a resource allocation error. Like only a certain number of programs are able to access my GPU at a time. I would have assumed my GPU was getting overwhelmed but whenever this issue occurs I am at less than 30% GPU load and with 60% vram available.
This system was installed back when Solus 4.2 was current so I am wondering if the system is just really messed up at this point due to age. I may try switching to the Plasma variant if this issue cannot be resolved (assuming it is a DE problem).
Out of curiosity I installed Opera to see if the issue could be replicated with another browser. There was absolutely no conflict and I could have the web browser open while playing any steam game. The web browser could even be playing video during this.
So it seems like an issue with Firefox. Not sure exactly what but it seems like Firefox is wanting exclusive access to my GPU and will not let other programs access it when it is running.
Edit #1:
I also tried to replicate the issue with Brave but was unable to do so. @MorningCoffeeZombie is also running into similar issues with Steam games and Firefox, and they are also running into issues with Nautilus (I haven't had that happen on my system since I use nemo)
I want to add to my initial comment in this thread:
-Nautilus must not be open before Steam (Steam UI won't load)
-Nautilus must not be open before Firefox (Firefox crash reporter appears)
-Only 1 of these may be running at any given time: vkcube, Firefox, Celluloid, [any Steam game].
-Both vkcube and Celluloid (run via terminal) crash with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
That being said: I don't think this is exclusive to Firefox. While playing low resource util games, the OS can't even render the vkcube (whereby Firefox is not running and not a part of this test).
sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall had no effect and the system is completely up to date as of last night (today is when I first rebooted and encountered these issues).
I apologize in advance but the forums won't let me upload a .txt or .zip. The next comment will be a list of all packages replaced during the update - hopefully it'll help narrow down some culprits:

Date: 2024-09-07 04:00
* Solus repository is updated.MorningCoffeeZombie Interesting, I tried running vkcube with a steam game open as well and ran into a segmentation fault. The exact same thing happened with celluloid as you described. So you are right this must be more than just Firefox. sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall returns as normal for me as well, only flagging the clr-boot-manager error (which apparently is a known issue). I will look at what packages were changed for me as well

Does anything change if you run the commands with __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1 ?
(e.g. __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1 firefox)
Matt_Nico I also am very confused as to why the operation numbers are seemingly so low. This install has been live since 2021 iirc so I know for certain that more than 300 operations have been done.
That seems like a pretty low number. My Solus installation on my PC is from 2019 and has over 10000 operations (granted, that is with a lot of package testing). On the other hand, if you only update once every week (and maybe not even that) and then have a bit over a hundred extra package operations total that would check out.
If that is not the case then perhaps you at some point deleted the whole eopkg database? I know there was a guide on these forums at some point that had some unfortunate advice to that effect.
Staudey trying to run either celluloid or vkcube with the __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1 modifier did not change the outcome. Trying to run either command resulted in the same message Segmentation fault (core dumped)
and firefox crashed with this output in the terminal:
matt@matt-solus-desktop ~ $ __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1 firefox

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.For the time being I have been using Brave for compatibility/stability reasons.
I can confirm Matt's observations - exact same responses and issues persisting.
I haven't found any other distro facing this issue (albeit hard to google for).
It all seems to be based on running 2 video(videogame) programs at once - seems to be something in the updated nvidia drivers but that's just a guess.
Anyone have any news on the topic or when we can expect the next update?
I have also noticed that there a number of other apps that are affected. It was especially odd because not all are media based. I ran eopkg info <package> and grabbed the dependencies and reverse deps to see if there was a through line between all apps. The image lists the number of times the package was dependent on the 7 apps tested.
Apps Tested:
eopkg info firefox
eopkg info gnome-calculator
eopkg info gnome-calendar
eopkg info celluloid
eopkg info obs-studio
eopkg info kdenlive
eopkg info vlc
*Reverse deps not listed - didn't seem to provide any insight
I don't know if this helps but it seemed worthy of sharing 
MorningCoffeeZombie I also would have thought that there would be a common dependency between all of those apps which you tested (other than glibc). I too think this must be something with the nvidia drivers but I do not know what.
I know Gnome wayland sessions have been having issues from it being mentioned on the forums, and that Budgie and Gnome share components, so I would also wonder if it has something to do with DE packages.
Axios I ran gpu-viewer and honestly have no clue what I am looking at, it gives a ton of information but I do not know what could be "bad" so I can't find any issues.
It does show that I have two available devices; my main GPU and "llvmpipe" which from my understanding uses the CPU to render things. It also confirmed that this system is running in x11 (I already knew that but I think it rules out the wayland issues others have faced).
I just discovered something new about this issue. It appears that the vulkan driver is just flat out missing. This makes it extremely confusing that games are able to be run and the same with vkcube. But nonetheless when you check the output of inxi -G there are seemingly no vulkan drivers present
inxi -G

I had tried this across two kernels 6.10.9-302 and 6.10.8-301, and the same issue of the Vulkan driver not being present and affecting the behaviour of games and video rendering apps continued. Both kernels show inxi -G listing no Vulkan drivers.
So I did as @ReillyBrogan suggested in the update thread and installed the linux-lts kernel (6.6.50-254) to do more testing. However this created an entirely new set of issues with my system. After installing the lts kernel and running clr-boot-manager update I restarted my system. Selecting the lts kernel results in a black screen and the system never booting but also never throwing an error, it just sits on a blank black screen in perpetuity. But the more glaring issue is the effects this had on the current kernel. After attempting to start using the lts kernel and that not working I went to switch back to the most current kernel (6.10.9.302), but the system would no longer boot immediately throwing an initrd: device error. This error is very reminiscent of other issues involving clr-boot-manager and being unable to mount boot devices where I have run into seemingly "random" initrd errors which sometimes disappear overnight.
So as of right now I am running things off of the 6.10.8-301 kernel which is the last remaining working kernel on my system. Really not sure where to go from here or how to address such glaring issues.
Matt_Nico additionally running sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall to check for broken packages results in both linux-lts and linux-current being replaced. This happens no matter how many times I attempt to run the command so it appears to be replacing the broken packages with broken packages.
Matt_Nico Make sure vulkan-tools is installed
Then run (vkcubepp) it will show what gpu it is using and the cube vkcube should run to.
If that works I would say its installed if not then you have issues.
Mine runs like this just built in intel graphics
~ $ vkcubepp
Selected GPU 0: llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.8, 256 bits), type: Cpu
But would think yours should show the nvidia Gpu
I couldnt get inserted properly so below is a screenshot you have type addy in...Sorry
Note: Note not all what that is saying is true and current because it is 6yr old and Solus has grown since then
and evolved.
Also this is from Vulkan download appimage and mark as exec and run.
Mostly duplicates Gpu-viewer but just for Vulkan.

I am by no means as expert on Graphics just stuff I see may be a use.
