From: "O. Hartmann" on 8 Feb 2010 08:32 Today, I upgraded Firefox 3.5.7 (built yesterday) to Firefox 3.6. After deleting ~/.mozilla (after I did a buckup, of course), I tried a fresh start of 'firefox3'. After firefox showed up, I realized that no option-field (File, Extras etc) can be used, they are dead and after a few seconds I clicked them, firefox3 is crashing. Since I recompiled firefox 3.5.7 yesterday I was wondering if this is due to some 'false' lib or dependency. Since I figured that I have similar trouble with Thunderbird 3.0.1 after I installed it, I suspect a faulty library causing this behaviour. With Thunderbird 3, I never solved the problem although I tried to rebuild everything with thunderbird via 'portmaster -f'. I'll did this with firefox 3.6 also, but with no success. The crashing is observed on two nearly identical SMP FreeBSD 8.0/amd64 STABLE boxes (make world of today), up-to-date ports. The crash is NOT observed on my private oldish UP box, nearly the same setup, OS at the same revision and ports up to date as of yesterday. Maybe this could be a hint. Any hints or suggestions?

You can porbably ignore /usr/local/lib/firefox3/firefox-bin: libxul.so => not found (0x0) libmozjs.so => not found (0x0) libxpcom.so => not found (0x0) because run-mozilla.sh sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/lib/firefox3 where these libraries are installed. I merely deleted my old firefox 3.6 and reinstalled from the port (on 9-CURRENT AMD64) and haven't seen any problems. But of course, I've been running various incarnations of 3.6 for a while and may have gotten all the dependencies already correctly installed. --- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

Nothing better than previously seen. Try hitting Button 'Tools' at the top menu bar gives a menu after several seconds, then firefox crashes/core dumps.

From: Eitan Adler on 8 Feb 2010 16:42 I have no idea if this is related but from pkg-message Firefox 3.6 and HTML5 Certain functions used to display HTML5 elements need the sem module. If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a HTML5 page: "Bad system call (core dumped)" you need to load the sem module (kldload sem). To load sem on every boot put the following into your /boot/loader.conf: sem_load="YES" On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 9:04 PM, O.

The error/system message when crashing is socket(): Protocol not supported Illegal instruction (core dumped) and a core is dumped. It is funny, as long as I do not drop down any menus, this crappy Firefox 3.6 on my box runs for several seconds, then crahses unmotivated - no matter whether .mozilla has been brand new or containing the old stuff from 3.5.7. Whenever I drop down a menu, the dead comes fast.
