   It may be that you have to update the glibc-library. I just had the same problem. When I tried to start the program via the command line „/usr/bin/firefox-official" I saw the corresponding error message.
   2.14
   tux@slitaz:~$ /usr/bin/firefox-official: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/bin/firefox-official)

   Hmmh, no chance: I just did an update to the newest packages but I get then this:
   tux@slitaz:~/Desktop$ tazpkg -l | grep libc
   glibc-base 2.14.1 Basissystem
   libcanberra 0.30 Entwicklung
   libcap 2.33 Systemwerkzeuge
   libcddb 1.3.2 Multimedia
   libcomerr 1.43.9 Basissystem
   libcomerr3 1.18 Sicherheit
   libcrypto 1.0.2u Sicherheit
   libcurl 7.72.0 Netzwerk
   So it is 2.14 and not >2.17 as required.

   I got curious and tried it on a laptop. Packages first updated. Then I started firefox 77, no problem. Is the secret hidden in the list of installed packages? I have here glibc 2.14.
   Hmmh, I leave it for the adults in the room.
   --------------------------
   Joy was too early. Now it does not start any longer with the error message:

   /usr/bin/firefox-official: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/bin/firefox-official)
   ----------------------------------------
   Then I re-installed it with tazpanel and now it runs again.

   I'll throw it out there: probable auto-update of firefox.
   Compare just installed by slitaz the values of BuildID[sha1]=xxx in firefox-bin with the "file" command, then repeat when it stops working. You will see that they are different....
   from the releases the original values of sha1 are available
   http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
   here is a method to force update blocking (to be translated)

   firefox 77 is the last 32-bit version and therefore must not be updated!

   Sorry, what I intended to say was
   firefox 77.0 is the last 32-bit version that works with
   glibc-2.14.1 in SliTaz
