WFM on 45.0a1 (2015-12-04) Ubuntu 14.04 x64 by starting a clean profile from the profile manager.

Reproduced with latest 45.0a1 (from 2015-11-7), under *Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit* - the process is visible in System Monitor, but the window never shows up; unable to reproduce under Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit with the same 45.0a1 build.

Sorry for the typo - it's 45.0a1 from 2015-12-07, not 2015-11-7 :)

Comment 4

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

Presumably this reproduces with mozregression as well then (which uses clean profiles on each run)? If so, can you please try to narrow down the regression window further?

Investigated further and here are the results:

So, this regression is caused by Bug 1003439.

That commit enables an entire API. Is there any chance to get a stack, or at least console output?

Comment 9

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

Can you start Firefox from a terminal and paste the log?

Only '1450077813239	addons.xpi-utils	WARN	Disabling foreign installed add-on [e-mail] in app-system-share' is displayed via Terminal; and when opened with --jsconsole command, the Browser Console output is this https://goo.gl/6RkjwH and automatically hangs.

[Bogdan Maris, Desktop QA]

I also ran into this using Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit, though with 14.04 64-bit I'm unable to reproduce.

My terminal output:
Same as in comment 10.

Comment 12

[Vasilica Tamas, QA [:vtamas]]

This issue is still reproducible on Firefox 47.0a1 (2016-02-18) under Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit.

Comment 13

[Paul Silaghi, QA [:pauly]]
