Similar symptoms as Bug 1466828

$ ./mach talos-test -a tp6_amazon --tpcycles 1 --cycles 1 --geckoProfile

11:33:25     INFO -  Thanks for running Talos locally. Results are in ['/home/paul/dev/moz/dont-poison/testing/mozharness/build/local.json']

When I try that python command manually:

$python /home/paul/dev/moz/dont-poison/testing/tools/view_gecko_profile/view_gecko_profile.py -b /home/paul/dev/moz/dont-poison/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/firefox -p /home/paul/dev/moz/dont-poison/testing/mozharness/build/blobber_upload_dir/profile_tp6_amazon.zip

I don't know what changed, but now it is almost working.  Firefox starts and attempts to open the profile, but the proxy settings used during the tp6 test are still in effect, so the page fails to open.

:rwood, have you seen this?

Thanks Paul.

There's a readme for view-gecko-profile, when running the command manually you need to create a venv and install the requirements, please see:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/tools/view_gecko_profile/README.txt

I tried that and using the command directly works.

However yes Talos is broken when launching this automatically. This is a duplicate of Bug 1493252.
