Hi,

I currently have the exact same error message as mentioned by manicmike66
This is a startup crash on my Ubuntu 18.04 system

I have followed steps in detailed in this link
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-keeps-crashing-startup

The crash persists:

  • When I start firefox in safe mode
  • When I uninstall it and install a fresh copy
  • I have also deleted the StartUp cash folders I could find within ~/.mozilla/firefox

Here is the Crash report

I would love to have some idea of the next steps to get firefox working on my system.

Hey Will23,

I have the exact same problem! I'm also using Ubuntu 18.04. "Glad" to see, that it seems to be an broader issue, than having hardware problems or something else is wrong.

I tried:

  • (clean) uninstalled and installed several times
  • doesn't work in safe mode

I opened a thread up within the firefox support forum, but until now, it couldnt be solved: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1328224

Update:

Updated on Linux 20.04.02, the Problem with firefox still persists. :(

Hey BoemBoem,

I noticed on the mozzilla support thread you created, you mentioned you're using Ubuntu on your MacBook. I am also using Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook Pro.
At this stage I have no idea what's going on and am leaving any kind of information out there.

I would love to get this problem solved

Hey Will23,

that's interesting! I would love to get it solved, as well! But at this point I have no clue how. Hopefully the other person from the mozilla support has an idea. I will update the thread about the similarity with macbook Pro2012.

I keep seeing this message on terminal:

Failed to open curl lib from binary, use libcurl.so instead

This is an Arch system, firefox 86.0.1 from repositories, Dell XPS L502X.
Let me know if I can add any useful information.

Still having the same bug on Firefox, Ubuntu 20.04,

SUMMARY: 32 BIT Firefox v. 122 on x64 Linux complains about curl

I get Failed to open curl lib from binary, use libcurl.so instead consistently on a/when about to submit a crash report. (And the crash report never gets submitted - I have to submit it after a restart from about:crashes).

Exiting due to channel error.
(previous line repeated, for example, in total: 29 times)
Exiting due to channel error.
Failed to open curl lib from binary, use libcurl.so instead

SYSTEM + FIREFOX VERSION - SUMMARY
32 BIT Firefox, current 122.0 binary from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/, fitted/implanted in Manjaro (stable sister of Arch) Linux x64. (I DO HAVE 4000+ tabs, 5000+ bookmarks, and around 30 FF extensions (which, I believe, are stable: I do choose my extensions)). My electrolysis+multiprocess Firefox normally runs 30+ processes and is happy for a day or so, then I restart.)

SYSTEM + FIREFOX VERSION - DETAILS
I use Arch User Repository (AUR) 32bin-firefox package. However, that's currently out-of-date (on v. 116; I'm in a process of becoming a maintainer). So, I've updated it manually to use the v. 122.0 of 32bit (686) en-US binary from Mozilla (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/122.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-122.0.tar.bz2, Build ID 20240118164516).

SYSTEM + FIREFOX VERSION - SIDE NOTE
I have had much more pain with 32bin-firefox on the same Manjaro x64 system, reporting on stderr that there was no libpci - even though Firefox DID continue to run after such stderr reports. And Firefox would die (given my load as per above) after some 4-6 hours of usage. Since I've installed lib32-pciutils, it got much smoother.
Once/If I become AUR maintainer of 32bin-firefox, I'll add lib32-pciutils (AUR) package as an optional dependency. Or, any opinion if it should be a required dependency?

SYSTEM + LIB CURL 32/64 - DETAILS
I do have libcurl installed for both 32 and 64 bits, from standard Arch/Manjaro packages:

pamac search --installed curl
qemu-block-curl  8.2.0-2                                        extra
    QEMU curl block driver
python-pycurl  7.45.2-3                                         extra
    A Python 3.x interface to libcurl
lib32-curl  8.5.0-1                                          multilib
    command line tool and library for transferring data with
    URLs (32-bit)
curl  8.5.0-1                                                    core
    command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs

I do NOT know how dynamic libraries, other than glibc, on x32/x64 Linux are registered/located/recognized/matched and loaded. Can the lib32-curl name be a problem? Can I symlink to it? Or anything like LD_PRELOAD?

USAGE
MOZ_DISABLE_GMP_SANDBOX=1 MOZ_DISABLE_CONTENT_SANDBOX=1 MOZ_GC_LOG_SIZE=0 MOZ_QUIET=1 bin32-firefox &

PROBLEM
If I push it too much (too many various domains/tabs active at the same time), or if I experiment with a new FF extension, then Firefox crashes. That (the actual crash) IS OK with me. But, the crash reporter fails, complaining about libcurl (above).

PROBLEM - SIDE NOTES
Sometimes I get a crash reporter even if I turn Firefox myself and if there is no obvious problem.

My most recent submitted crash was https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-bdc745cb-e9f3-416e-b6e7-2686d0240128. Again, I couldn't submit it from the Crash Reporter popup (because of the CURL error). So, I've submitted it, after a restart, from about:crashes. That actual crash WAS triggered by using a naughty/demanding extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-all-tabs/reviews), but my crashes and the related lib CURL error do occur regardless of extensions.
SIDE SIDE NOTE: If you know how to "claim", or to report myself/assign myself, to a crash submitted through about:crashes, please do let me know. https://crash-stats.mozilla.org didn't seem to have such an option (even though I've logged on).

Thank you in advance for any tips.
