Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael]

Attachment: Bugzilla.rtf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141015114030

Steps to reproduce:

Downloaded the latest zipped build of x64 firefox nightly for Windows.


Actual results:

Very soon after launching the browser, the whole PC becomes unresponsive and I am forced to perform a hard reset of Windows. This happens with a clean profile.


Expected results:

The browser should work normally. I am attaching my about:support information, which also contains a brief description of my PC and a copy of my MSINFO32 summary.

More information... It seems with a clean profile the browser doesn't lock up the entire PC. It only locks up firefox. If I disable OMTC, the browser runs normally. If I enable e10s with OMTC off, my PC locks up instantly.

Windows8.1 64bit is bad, Windows7 Pro is good.

Steps to reproduce:
1.download "firefox-36.0a1.en-US.win64-x86_64.installer.exe" and install.
2.confirm boot nightly(first profile).
3.exit nightly.
4.run "firefox -p", make new profile named "test".

Actual results:
not boot nightly.(display on task manager)

Expected results:
boot nightly.

Am I right in thinking the 2014-10-15 nightly works and the 10-16 nightly is broken for you?

None of the 64-bit builds work until I disable OMTC. The browser will launch and just freeze and become unresponsive. After I disable OMTC the browser works as expected. If I enable e10s AFTER disabling OMTC, the whole PC freezes and has to be reset by holding in the power button.

Things working better these days? Lots of changes to the OMTC/Graphics pipeline since this bug was filed last year.
