1465874 - [ubuntu 18.04 LTS] segfault at gdk_window_get_user_data

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Nanar Duff]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I recently tried to install firefox on my ubuntu since getting sick of chrome memory consumption, but default package/tar.bz2 downloaded from website doesn't start

When starting from command line I get:

$ firefox
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 4271
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
$


Actual results:

So I ran firefox w/ gdb using the -g option and got:

$ firefox -g
[...]
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox

Expected results:

Firefox should have started? No new window appears.

I quickly tried to look for similar issues on bugzilla but nothing came up. 

The firefox package used on ubuntu is "60.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1". The same issue arise when using the .tar.bz2 from the website. And libgtk-3-dev version is "3.22.30-1ubuntu1"

[Nanar Duff]

and libgtk-3.0 (which provides libgdk-3.so.0) version is 3.22.30-1ubuntu1

Comment 2

[Adrian Florinescu [:aflorinescu]]

Thanks for the report Nanar. I'm wildly assuming that the firefox version you are trying to start above is the Firefox canonical version, in which case an apt-get update would probably be helpful.
Ubuntu in general comes with a canonical version, the firefox - g lists that you are trying to open that version. On my test machine Ubuntu 18.04, I have had no problem with the canonical version or the official release.

Could you please download the official version from here (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/60.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/) or use the one that you have downloaded before, but try to open it by using full path? e.g: $./Documents/firefox/firefox

Comment 3

[Adrian Florinescu [:aflorinescu]]

Resolving as incomplete for the time being.
Nanar, please reopen the bug with the requested additional information (comment 2) if the issue is still reproducible.
