864831 - Segmentation Fault while starting firefox compiled from the latest source code on github

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Ravi Agrawal]

Attachment: The stack from the segmentation fault.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.63 Safari/537.31

Steps to reproduce:

I cloned the repository mozilla-central from github and pulled the latest changes last commit being: 91070e34b6ffd456cb4a4e22c23ba49acf5c9e16

I built firefox.. which was done without any errors or interruptions.
After building it.. when I tried to run it, it gave a segmentation fault and did not start at all..

So I used gdb to get the stack details which are attached..

p.s : I am on 32-bit Ubuntu on intel core 2 duo system with 2 GB ram.


Actual results:

It gives a segmentation fault just after running the command to start ff and the ff does not start.


Expected results:

Firefox should have started..

Can you please provide more detail steps to reproduce? What do you mean by cloned repository mozilla-central from github and built firefox? Did you get it from file server and tried to install it?
