Waterfox Classic does not work in version 2022.11, shows transparent windows, opening preferences doesn't work either #222

Description

Describe the bug
I'm trying to open Flash games in Flashpoint, some of which use Waterfox Classic. When I open Waterfox Classic for any reason, it doesn't work. Opening Preferences doesn't work either.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Waterfox Classic
  2. It doesn't work and instead shows a transparent window
  3. Try opening Preferences using Cmd+, or via the menu
  4. Nothing happens
  5. Repeat steps 3+4 about 100+ times (via holding down the keys for about 30 seconds) to no avail (other than system error sounds)

Expected behavior
It should open an opaque window that actually does stuff, and opening preferences should also work so I can troubleshoot any issues with it.

Screenshots
I'd add screenshots but the window might not show up well. There's nothing to see, really (it's completely blank and see-through)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: MacOS Sequoia
  • Version 15.4.1

Additional context
This has been a problem ever since late 2022 for me when I first started having to deal with Waterfox Classic. I'm on an Intel Mac. (In other words, despite having used Waterfox Classic 2022.11 basically ever since release day, it has never worked for me.)

Please release an update so that Waterfox Classic actually works because it's completely broken.
