1280768 - Firefox crashes on saving anything

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[John]

When trying to download about anything (such as Save as..., Right-click Save as..., Save page as..., ftp: transfers,..., Firefox 47.0.2 crashes with the following message (when run inside gdb):

[New Thread 0x7fffd53ff700 (LWP 2200)]
[New Thread 0x7fffb73b0700 (LWP 2201)]

(firefox:2094): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' does not contain a key named 'date-format'

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' _does_ exist, and the date-format _does_ exist, as shown here:

$ gsettings get org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser date-format
'regular'

This problem seems to have started with the installation of gtk+-3.20.5.

Correction: FF Version was 47.0.0

Extra info: I tried to go back to FF 45.0.2, but the problem persists.

glib version is:

$ pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0                      
2.45.8

Sorry for the noise. The problem was resolved in gtk+-3.20.6! It seems that the search engines hadn't catalogued the problem yet (especially the changelog). Just compiled the newer version, restarted Firefox and all was Ok.
