Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install firefox-55.0.3-1.x86_64

AS AN EXTRA:

if I execute the firefox command using the libgobject of the glib2-2.46.2 package, firefox runs as expected!!!:

[sanz@localhost ~]$ LD_PRELOAD=/opt/firefox/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2 firefox


Expected results:

The typical browser window.

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

Josep, Could this occur on our official binary from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ ?   If this occurs on RedHat package only, please file a bug to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

Hi Makoto.

This occur on your official binary package called firefox-55.0.3.tar.bz2 downloaded from the mozilla page.

Hi.

As a temporal solution, I have modified the libmozgtk.so in my local installation. To do it:

1) Obtain and put the old libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2 to the /opt/firefox

2) patchelf --add-needed /opt/firefox/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2 /opt/firefox/libmozgtk.so

3) patchelf --print-needed /opt/firefox/libmozgtk.so

        /opt/firefox/libgobject-2.0.so.0.4600.2
        libpthread.so.0
        libdl.so.2
        libgtk-3.so.0
        libgdk-3.so.0
        libstdc++.so.6
        libm.so.6
        libc.so.6

Now, firefox runs without problems!!!

Josep.

Hi.

After the CentOS 7.4 update, the original package (firefox-55.0.3.tar.bz2) runs as expected.

I understand that the problem was some incompatibility between the glib2 and some other library and that was fixed after the update.

Sorry and thanks by your help.

Josep.
