Mageia forum

I've been troubleshooting increasing instances of firefox abruptly crashing. It is now happening very regularly and is irritating.

I cleared all the cache info and that didn't help. Started a new profile. That didn't help, but it was inconvenient anyway (had to find and reinstall plugins).

Some googling suggested I enabled troubleshooting mode. I've done this and experienced crashes in troubleshooting mode (ie plugins disabled, etc.), however the about:crashes page doesn't exist. I enabled various configuration preferences that a search of "crash" brought up, but none of them enabled the about:crashes page.

Is there a way to enable crash reporting? Any other ideas?

Which version of Firefox?
Just now 128.3.1 got pushed to updates repo.
Also install other current updates.

Start it from a text terminal, does it output something interesting?
(It use to complain a lot, but... anything crash related?)

Does this happen on specific page, or type of page?

Before starting Firefox, launch a terminal and launch "journalctl -f" and keep it running, to see system journal logging - maybe some graphic problem?
(I had such problems with a grahics card dying)

I believe most relevant stuff should be accessible via about:support landing page although TBH it's a really long time since I looked at firefox more closely.
But crash reporter seems to be hard disabled during compilation, that's why about:crashes is missing and cannot be enabled no matter what you do (although you could rebuild firefox if you really want that):
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updat ... arkup#l395

Although for your initial description it would probably be more useful if you could provide some more context on when it crashes ? If you visit some specific pages, when playing audio/video or some graphics, ... ?
For debugging the crashes most helpful thing would be to run firefox from a terminal and then look at the terminal when it crashes, maybe post it here if you need some hints.
Also check the normal journalctl logs at the time of the crash.

For the usual stuff:

• run in safe mode
• disable hardware acceleration
• check your OpenGL setup, if you use software OpenGL via Mesa that can often lead to crashes if your setup isn't working correctly.

Also check what Fedora recommends as our firefox package is pretty close to Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_d ... x_problems

apart from that you could easily compare Mageia firefox to the one from Mozilla by grabbing a tarball, you could even run it with the same profile for a one to one comparison.

Thank you both. I'll work on acquiring and passing along that information.

Another option is to install the flatpak of Firefox to see if that version crashes, too. I've been using the flatpak version of Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Brave and with Mageia and haven't had issues with any of them.

I did upgrade to 128.3.1. I have been busy and haven't been able to work on this in depth, but I did start from the command line and might have some valuable information from that.

Probably unrelated (??), but on startup I got these messages:

Later, a page crashed. It didn't crash the whole browser. But it did leave this message:

Then, as I was typing this message, the whole browser (every window) crashed. It gave this:

Looks graphics related. I'll hit submit now before it crashes again!

Yeah those are unrelated.

Could be related if firefox does not recover.

There are multiple reports with similar error messages:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1365914
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1400954
https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/issues/321
https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/1390
https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/474

Might help if you could add some more context information regarding your desktop environment, if you use wayland or classic X11 and what graphics driver and what graphics card you use, and if maybe hybrid graphics or such.
Also post the graphics section from about:support

You may need to reproduce this with a upstream firefox build and see if you can get a crash report.

Unrelated, can you run the examples from https://webglsamples.org/ without crashing ?

Thank you for the great reply! I'll circle back to it shortly. Just putting some additional details here from a further test.

Ran journalctl prior to firefox today.

Firefox dutifully crashed again with this error:

When I restarted firefox, I got this:

You may need to reproduce this with a upstream firefox build and see if you can get a crash report.

I'll have to work on that later, but could do that if it'll be helpful. Based on the bug reports you posted, it sounds like this isn't just a mageia (or my hardware) issue.

At least just now I could. I did all the examples and they seemed to work. I'm not sure it would go that way every time. I did get these messages while doing it:

The segfault is the issue here.

I believe you basically have two options to debug this. Either install the -debuginfo packages for firefox from Mageia repos and then running it under gdb and wait for the crash to obtain a backtrace, see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Debugging_software_crashes
Although as that's not an official Mozilla build you could only report this as Mageia bugreport.

It might be easier to try to reproduce with a regular tarball from Mozilla, and obtain a normal crashreport and then report this as a bug upstream.

Given the fact this doesn't seem isolated to Mageia, maybe it's better to do make the upstream report???

FWIW, when I sat down this morning it immediately segfaulted (wouldn't start at all) and restarting X didn't fix it. Had to *reboot*.

V-

Well you can only report it upstream if you can reproduce it with an official Mozilla build. Can you ?

I suggest you follow doktor5000's suggestion.

You can download the upstream tarball here:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/linux/

Yes. I submitted lots of crash data.

I wonder now if there's something bigger than firefox going on. The machine seems to be running fine, but Firefox using the official tarball crashes just like it did using the Mageia version. This morning, the following sequence of events occurred:

Satdown to use my computer (it ran all night). As soon as I woke it up, logged in, and my session opened, Firefox appeared for a split second (open to what it was open to before) and then crashed. I selected to submit the bug report.

I clicked on firefox to reopen it (I have an icon on the desktop for the official version) and it immediately crashed again. I submitted the bug report. I repeated this process several times. Logs from journalctl mirror what the error messages gave in the reports above:

(I repeated that several times. It failed several times in a row)

I logged out and tried to log back in. My session would not log back in cleanly (I tried at least twice). I switched to a terminal window and tried to shutdown the machine. Shutdown took an exceptionally long time, never completed correctly, and gave several unusual messages, including some of the following (from journalctl, selected excerpts, not a cut and paste of the whole log):

I could paste more, but I'm curious if this looks like possibly a hardware problem with CPU0? And could this be related to the other graphics errors on Firefox crashes?

Possibly related or not, but akonadi throws crash messages regularly and is inoperative (I haven't been able to use kmail for quite some time as a result). That seems less likely related unless for some reason akonadi is always assigned CPU0? (Guessing not)

I rebooted multiple times. I tried to log into the gui which failed on the next boot. I rebooted maybe twice without loading the gui. Then I loaded the gui and it worked. I loaded firefox and it worked. It seems to me like this suggests that firefox might only be part of the problem, and that there may be something else going on with the OS and/or hardware?

This seems to be more of an issue related to power management, as this often causes graphics drivers to crash when waking up again.
Or the CPU to stall, depending on the chipset.

I'm curious if the OP ever found a solution to the Firefox problem. I use the flatpak version just because I prefer standard over extended release. I haven't had any issues at all with the flatpak so I suggest trying that if nothing else has worked since any dependencies are included in the flatpak.

Screen off. It only does that with Firefox. No other apps have such crashy problems. But the trouble persists even without the laptop ever having gone to sleep. I just booted it up from cold this morning, and already a tab crashed. It hasn't been in sleep/standby/hibernate/screen-off/etc. at all.

No solution yet. I'll add that to my list to test. I might not get to it soon as I've got a ton of work over the next few days and not much time to get it done. But maybe late next week if I don't get bombarded with more...
