1285366 - Daily hangs on start

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1284677

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[PointlessOne]

Attachment: Sample of Daily.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160630123429

Steps to reproduce:

After update to macOS Sierra Developer Beta 2 Daily hangs on start. I used to run Daily builds on Beta 1.


Actual results:

When started from the Dock the icon bounces for a while but then it stops. No running indicator appears under the icon. In the Activity Monitor Daily process is present and consumes 99% of CPU.

When ran from terminal it outputs the following and hangs.

> thunderbird(4058,0x7fffbdfda3c0) malloc: *** malloc_zone_unregister() failed for 0x7fffbdfd1548

I tried nightly builds all the way back to 42.0a1 starting with today's (50.0a1 (2016-07-07)). All the hang in the same way.
This doesn't happen to release versions. 45.2.0 runs fine.

macOS Sierra 10.12 Developer Beta 2 (16A239j).

Does it also happen in safe mode?  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode

Yes. Both when starting with Option key from the dock and with --safe-mode switch on the command line.

Maybe it would help, I can not even get help with --help switch on command line.

I don't pretend to know anything about the state of stability and Macs, but perhaps related to bug 1284677?

Comment 4

Indeed, looks very similar by description. Likely the same issue.

That bug is now fixed. Is your problem gone with today's daily?

Yes, this problem has gone. Thanks.
