I'm happy that syncing works for you but privacy is very important to me so I don't want to upload my data to someone else's server(s).
I'm going to experiment with uninstalling flatpak firefox completely and reinstalling it to see if it'll fix the issue.
If that doesn't work, I'll try using firefox downloaded & installed with apt.
That's the problem, when I go to about:profiles, Firefox says that the root directories for the two profiles are:
But I can't find the directories for either of these profiles in /home/mario/.mozilla/firefox/
I have enabled the "Show hidden files" option in Thunar and I have even launched it as root from the terminal (sudo thunar) and I still can't find these profile directories.
Thank you, this resolved my issue.
I read the wiki and changed "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "VA-API video decoder".
My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it's set to "VA-API video decoder" VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.
I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?
Update:
Changing “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder” fixed the issue. Now VLC is able to play mp4 files with hardware acceleration without any issues.
Tried it. I don't think there's anything to upgrade:

I don't know if it updated my video driver. I just used this command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
like Debian Stable has packages from this century
You can set up Debian 12 to use Flatpak. I use it and it works well.
Tell me about it, it took me a long time to get out of google's ecosystem. As cliche as it sounds, you have to do it one step at a time
