How can I provide the needed info ?

I'm running firefox which is crashing all the time (6 ~ 12 minutes after launching it) I try to use it since 2 years ago. The crashes reported on about:crashes are not any more at your bugtracker due 6 month limit policy

Currently at firefox 69 on Debian Sid, i tried to download firefox from upstream too. Both, normal mode and safe-mode crash. Disabling hardware acceleration not help. Creating a new ~/.mozilla not help.

$ firefox

I was a happy firefox user until it started to crash on my computer. Please see that other apps will not crash

Please help me fixing my firefox issue

Thank you!

status-firefox69: --- → affected

I'm affected as well. Version 68 worked correctly.

Now, the Firefox 69.0.1 is always crashing when I try open the hamburger menu or type any text (url, text to search) into address bar. FF fails with the same error as i5513 have.

As long I don't open menu or enter text into address bar, FF works.

I'm on Gentoo, KDE plasma 5.16.5., kernel 5.3.1-gentoo, old nvidia graphics (GeForce GT 740M) with 435.21 drivers used together with build-in Intel GC.

Update: returned to FF 68 and all works, no crashes.

So I have other two computers where FF 69 works.

On this one, where it fails, I had some issues with overheating. I have solved and recompiled gcc and FF 69 and it works correctly now. So it was probably issue with corrupted gcc.

Today I tried a firefox snap version, but it didn't work :(. Firefox wont run more than 5- 10 minutes at my laptop.

How can we debug this issue? I would like to stick to firefox ... but for now I have to use chrome (since 2 years :( )

Thank you !

I have this issue:

  • Firefox 71.0 (64-bit)
  • NixOS
  • Sway

This has only happened to be on reddit.com (new), although it could be pure coincidence. Each time I restart my browser and visit the same reddit pages, it crashes after some time.

Firefox crashing also seems to be linked with opening links by calling the firefox executable.

If I have Firefox already opened and type:

$ firefox 'youtube.com'

Then when I am going to interact with the new tab that was created by that command, the browser will crash. It seems to be the best way I can find to reproduce it. I have also tried with other websites (change youtube.com in the above example), and have the same problem.

Could anyone confirm that this is the problem? And that it is reproducible?

(In reply to nils from comment #10)

I can always reproduce it.

This started happening constantly for me starting with today's nightly update using the wayland backend.
GDK_BACKEND=wayland /.../firefox-nightly/firefox

Gdk-Message: 13:04:57.986: Error flushing display: Invalid argument
Exiting due to channel error.
Exiting due to channel error.
Exiting due to channel error.

Firefox Version: 73.0a1 (2020-01-03) (64-bit)

Note that the above steps mentioned by :nils does not consistently reproduce the issue I'm seeing.

I also want to mention that I just switched to an SSD and my computer has a lot less latency now. For example firefox takes a lot less time to startup.

I'm still running firefox 71 and am running the same OS (NixOS) but now it just isn't reproduceable.

This could suggest this crash is caused by a race condition or something of that kind.

I get the issue on an SSD. The one pattern I've noticed is that it tends to crash shortly after waking and logging in (after automatic suspend). Does anyone else get the Firefox window going transparent when it crashes. It's as if the window becomes hollow with only a frame. I can see through to my desktop. Firefox doesn't actual close until I hit the close icon. But I get the same "Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost" message.

I started seeing this after yesterday's nightly update as well. I'm on Wayland (swaywm).

$ GDK_BACKEND=wayland ./firefox
Gdk-Message: 15:57:53.832: Error 22 (Invalid argument) dispatching to Wayland display.
Exiting due to channel error.

This is very frequent for me—it's probably already happened like four times today.

I can't find a consistent way to reproduce the crash in comment 12, but it seems to happen at random and fairly often.

Workaround: I only see it when running with GDK_BACKEND=wayland. If I simply run firefox-nightly/firefox & (as I'm doing right now), the issue disappears.

Here's some environment info:

Firefox Version: *73.0a1* (2020-01-04) (64-bit)
Arch Linux
Gnome Version 3.34.2 (Wayland)
graphics card:
                       nVidia GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile]
                       Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Mobile)
cpu:
                       Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz, 3955 MHz (6 core, 6 virtual)
disk:               SK hynix SSD

Problem on wayland might be dup of Bug 1606751 .

See Also: → 1606751

Just to note, I'm no longer seeing this issue on the latest nightly build with Wayland. So most likely my problem (which could be different from this bug) was indeed fixed in Bug 1606751.

It seems to correlate with opened tab of purrli.com -- when the site is opened, I have an exit in about 0.5--2 hours, and otherwise it at least works much longer.
No new items appear in about:crashes, no files in /var/crash/, despite phrase "core dumped" in output and ulimit -c unlimited.

Ubuntu 18.04, Firefox 74 (and earlier versions too). Addons used: Adblock Plus (without it I can't reproduce, with it Firefox exits after several hours of running one tab with purrli.com).

Bugbug thinks this bug is a regression, but please revert this change in case of error.

For me Firefox-68.6.0esr-x86_64 ALWAYS crashes immediately after starting it with messages:

Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[C0][GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown (t=1.89439) [GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown

I've tried to reinstall system and at the moment I'm using Slackware64-current PLASMA5 live USB.
The notebook on which the crashes always reproduce is:
Manufacturer: Acer
CPU: AMD C-50
GPU: AMD 6250 (integrated with CPU)

I haven't had any success with the recent Firefox versions on this netbook - that is, when
(and if) a version of Firefox (in fact I think those were only Slackware-provided ESRs) runs
without the mentioned crash it anyway is inevitable unuseful because of permanent
"GAH your tab has crashed"'s on every tab but text-only (or maybe absolute static).

The strange (or maybe good) thing is that I've boot from the same USB stick another
notebook(s) (with an older Intel CPU / integrated GPU) - and have had NO problems at all.
So I think that there maybe some hardware/GPU drivers incompatibility involved in these
crashes....

Any progress? I'm experiencing these crashes on firefox-78.0.1 under Wayland (Sway 1.5)

Seems to be fixed at Debian Unstable, Firefox 79

Yesterday firefox run fine about three hours, now I'm browsing 36 minutes without any crash

I hope other affected people can confirm it !

I have the problem since I have upgraded firefox to version 80.
I have followed minor update from Gentoo and now I'm using 80.0.1
When firefox crash, I can get this message in the terminal :

that are used with "radeon" and "nouveau" driver.

I can reproduce the bug each time I try to visit this french bank's site

It can be easy to me to build another version of firefox with debug info to get stack, does it needed ?

I was able to get a stable build by disabling link time optimization, (-lto useflag for gentoo user)

Still happens, and only on Wayland.

Happens to me as well on a Gentoo system on Firefox 84 and 85 under certain conditions (e.g., several windows open, try to open more windows). On Wayland, the actual error is:
Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[C0][GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown (t=5115.14) Exiting due to channel error.
Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[C0][GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown (t=3547.66)

I haven't had a chance to try "safe" mode yet, but I'm only running Vimius-C, NoScript and AgentSwitcher, not something I would describe as "heavy extension usage".

I also started wondering why WebGL has some ANDROID in it, but that may just be spurious.

I can confirm that this happens in safe mode, too.

Please run with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 env variable set. It should reveal if it's a problem in Wayland.
Thanks.

Martin, happy to test the WAYLAND_DEBUG route, which I'm familiar with and is fully independent from the program, so long as it's a wayland client, that is.
However, are you sure that coredumpctl works in this case? The page you linked says "Application window simply disappear and bug report dialog will show up" and suggests that coredumpctl is one of the things that you can do. However, this is not my case (and I thought not the case for this bug either, but I may be wrong). Firefox simply crashes and there is nothing offered, no crash saved in ~/.mozilla. Let me know if I misunderstood before I start installing more debugging tools.

If you see Mozilla crashreporter dialog please use it, submit crash (from about:crashes) and paste crash ID here. Use coredumpctl only when Mozilla crashreporter dialog does not show up. Also please inspect crashes at about:crashes if they're related.

OK - I can confirm that there is nothing in about:crashes, nor in ~/mozilla (wherever the crashes get stored) - basically Firefox has never crashed with the crashreporter in a very long time. I'll get coredumpctl and give it a try - will report if I find something relevant.

It's also possible that Firefox does not crash - it's just terminated due to Wayland protocol error. That should reveal WAYLAND_DEBUG log.

Not sure this is too useful... maybe the server killed firefox because it took a long time to return a pong? I'll come back with that coredumpctl if/when it crashes again and I get it installed :)

[3307443.331] xdg_wm_base@25.ping(Exiting due to channel error.

Yes, this is important. I suggest to report it to KWim/Wayland for further investigation. Maybe some KWim log can help here but I don't know how to get it, Vlad?

Flags: needinfo?(vlad.zahorodnii)

Martin, FWIW, I don't use KDE/Plasma... I'm on hikari (wlroots based compositor). If you tell me what you're looking for exactly, I can poke around a bit - my understanding is that Wayland server uses ping/pong to figure out if something is deadlocked. The indication of "clients have to respond to a ping in a timely manner" doesn't really describe what ought to happen very well, and I'm not an expert here but anything I can do to help, I will do.

Gabriel: what would be interesting if still see the crashes when using nightly (as there have been a bunch of crash fixes that are not yet in release). And also if forcing on Webrender makes any difference (should be automatically enabled on nightly).

Thanks, Robert. I activated webrender and went ahead to refresh the 16 windows (assuming that that's the way to make this kick in), and crashed :) Attaching last 1000 lines of the wayland log.
Martin, sorry, I can see there is something related to kwin in the wayland logs :)

Martin: regarding coredumpctl, I am not on systemd, so can't provide that. There are, however, no core dumps or any logs beyond what I provided from stdin+stderr

Okay, Thanks for the info. I think it would help to get log from the compositor or ask compositor devs.

Flags: needinfo?(vlad.zahorodnii)

Martin, I haven't found anything in the compositor's logs - but I'll pay more attention in the next crash in case there's something not obvious. I'll share this bug in the community, see if anybody has seen the same.

Robert: it turns out that with using webrender didn't yield a crash, albeit I did see a few strange areifacts here and there, but nothing too offensive, and certainly much more pleasant than a sudden crash.
Perhaps if others want to test, it's easy to enable via about:config, and didn't even need to run nightly.
Of course luck may damn me tomorrow, in which case I will report back :)

Hit this bug again, with firefox 88 (debian unstable) :(

Seeing this same problem (Exiting due to channel error) every couple days on Firefox 88.0.1 (64-bit) with Wayland, Gnome 3.38.5, on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye), with NVMe SSD, no recent crash reports.

Recently Firefox has started to crash very often this way.

If Firefox has run on HDD or external HDD, web page performance and speed is poor and slowest. It impacts performance of The Firefox extensions!
If Firefox runs on memory, it is speedy, but I will test then reported.

Sorry
I have tested with Firefox v78 v85 v89 on Linux and Windows! It is the same problem

Happening on dev edition 93 (Arch build, on sway).

I think I found one quite reliable way to reproduce this after some experimenting (not the only way but a reliable one). If you open a new Firefox window in sway (tabbed layout), have your focus on any text input such as url bar or input, close the tab with a three finger click on the tab, then switch focus to a terminal window running htop by clicking the sway tab, CPU usage will be 100% until you do something with the keyboard.

I couldn't see what was using all the CPU, but about 15% (with 2 cores) was sway and also some other wayland clients.

Sometimes this will result in a crash, but the probability might be a bit higher when I have a large amount of windows open, though that could also be because having many windows means I'll also be closing them more often.

Probably lots of the information above is irrelevant, but I feel that this might be somehow related to keyboard input in Wayland. I have fcitx5 IME installed, but I think I've seen crashes with and without.

Thank you

Do you have anything at about:crashes? If so can you please submit the crashreport and paste crash ID here?
Thanks.

The only crash that appear at about:crashes is from May, and firefox 89.0, so I think it would not help here.

Today 3 times crashed (now 4 while I was writting this comment it crashed again) , but not about:crashes id were generate
Maybe I need to set any var env to generate something useful?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

Today I could navigate with firefox 1 hour, not crash after upgrading Firefox to 93.0-1 (gnome+xorg).

Maybe tomorrow I can try 91.2.0esr-1 too ... or check with wayland 93.0-1

I hope return to firefox as my default browser !

Thank you!

I had the problem too and bisected the nightlies. I'm running CentOS 7.

2:27.31 INFO: First bad revision: 4c09da80722fcf62db02f19dc67f3f1a6b88f84d (2019-08-27)

I don't have the resources to bisect a full build at the moment, but here is how I pinned it down if others can try too:

mozregression --good 2019-06-02 --bad 2019-10-29 --command '/usr/src/upstream/mozregression/venv/firefox-test {binary}'

Here is the firefox-test command that it runs looking for a SIGXCPU:

==== ./firefox-test ====
#!/bin/bash

set -x

binary=$1

(sleep 15; wmctrl -c firefox) &

(
prof=mktemp -d
$binary --profile $prof
rc=$?
echo rc=$rc;
rm -rf "$prof"
2>&1) | tee firefox.log

if grep "rc=152" firefox.log; then
exit 1
else
exit 0
fi

Trying again with markdown, it clobbered some of my paste in the previous comment:

This bisect shows the first bad nightly on my CentOS 7 system:

This is how the nightlies were bisected:

mozregression --good 2019-06-02 --bad 2019-10-29 --command './firefox-test {binary}'

=== ./firefox-test bash script ===

#!/bin/bash

set -x 

binary=$1

(sleep 15; wmctrl -c firefox) &

(
	prof=`mktemp -d`
	$binary --profile $prof
	rc=$?
	echo rc=$rc;
	rm -rf "$prof"
	2>&1) | tee firefox.log

if grep "rc=152" firefox.log; then 
	exit 1
else
	exit 0
fi

If someone can tell me how to do a bisect by building these versions then I can give it a shot, but I've not built firefox in CentOS 7 before so I'm not sure what I need to do.

Well I'm having a horrible time just trying to bootstrap the build environment from 2019.

I've tried

hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ mozilla-central
cd mozilla-central/
hg update -r 4c09da80722fcf62db02f19dc67f3f1a6b88f84d
./mach bootstrap

but it tries to download an ancient toolchain artifact that is no longer available and bootstrap blows up.

How can I build this tree from 2019 so we can bisect and find the actual cause?

Its building! I was able to ignore the bootstrap errors, do ./mach clobber and ./mach build. Now it is building the "bad" commit so we can bisect.

This is el7 so I also had to install a few build dependencies like so in case someone else needs a reference:

wget https://www.mercurial-scm.org/release/centos7/mercurial.repo
yum install mercurial
yum install centos-release-scl
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
yum install llvm-toolset-7
yum install rust-toolset-7-cargo-vendor.x86_64
cargo install cbindgen

I also had to symlink the clang root and cbindgen to ~/.mozbuild:

mv .mozbuild/clang .mozbuild/clang-orig
ln -s /opt/rh/llvm-toolset-7/root/ ~/.mozbuild/clang 

mv  .mozbuild/cbindgen/cbindgen{,-old}
ln -s ~/.cargo/bin/cbindgen .mozbuild/cbindgen/cbindgen

From there:

hg update -r 4c09da80722fcf62db02f19dc67f3f1a6b88f84d
./mach bootstrap
./mach clobber
./mach build

I may have missed a step in the explanation above, but this is roughly correct.

Once we get a good build bisecting can begin if the bug will (kindly) continue to present.

I'm getting a huge number of build errors like the one below. I've tried rust 1.37, 1.39, 1.41, and 1.56.

Bug#1595218 has changes backed out that fix this exact error, but they are in December '19 and these commits are in October '19. A nightly build did happen, so somehow it built with some version of rust. Maybe it was even older...

Ideas?

The "good" version doesn't have the error above, it did compile completely. Hurray, this is my first firefox build!

Ok, more info for anyone following along:

The file taskcluster/ci/toolchain/rust.yml hints at the rsust version being used, so I'm going to try to build the "bad" version with 1.36.0:

rustup default 1.36.0

Also I had weird python unicode issues in the v2.7.5 that comes with CentOS 7 so I installed 2.7.18 and used VirtualEnv to re-bootstrap and rebuild:

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/Python-2.7.18.tgz
tar xzf Python-2.7.18.tgz
cd Python-2.7.18
./configure --enable-optimizations --prefix=/usr/local/python-2.7.18
make -j24 && make install
virtualenv --python=/usr/local/python-2.7.18/bin/python venv
. venv/bin/activate
./mach clobber
./mach bootstrap
./mach build
For more information on what to do now, see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Developer_Guide/So_You_Just_Built_Firefox

ok, on to bisecting...

BISECTED!

Here it is:

summary:     Bug 1576168 - Update audio_thread_priority to 0.19.1. r=pehrsons

Here is the description from Paul:

From Paul Adenot (:padenot):

Attached file Bug 1576168 - Update audio_thread_priority to 0.19.1. r?pehrsons — Details

This changes the hard-limit of RLIMIT_RTTIME to be the maximum available
(200ms on my system), and keep the soft limit to the same number.

Having different numbers allow catching SIGXCPU before getting SIGKILL.

So the fix to bug#1576168 caused (this) bug#1538435.

Strange thing is, this is just a version change of audio_thread_priority to 0.19.1, but somehow that broke it.

If it is useful, here is the bisect history:

Eric, are you playing any kind of audio at all when it's crashing? What is the return value of:

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1 --print-reply /org/freedesktop/RealtimeKit1 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1 string:RTTimeUSecMax

on the command-line? I'm very surprised we're seeing a crash there. In any case, it's probably best to create a different bug for your issue. This one appear Wayland related. The message we're seeing in any case is of a child process being killed.

Flags: needinfo?(github)

It seems my bisect test case wasn't testing what I thought it was: it detected the change from SIGKILL to SIGXCPU, but this isn't the right commit. Hopefully the procedure above is useful in case someone can reproduce and bisect.

Ok I found the problem on my system. I run most of my UI apps in SCHED_RR to get above VMs that take up CPU in the background:

~]$ chrt -p $$
pid 24658's current scheduling policy: SCHED_RR
pid 24658's current scheduling priority: 11

If I run firefox in SCHED_OTHER it runs fine:

~]$ chrt -o 0 firefox

You can probably reproduce the failure pretty easily on any system like so:

~]$ chrt -r 11 firefox
Exiting due to channel error.
CPU time limit exceeded

Wow, what a crazy issue! It worked with Firefox 68 ESR but stopped working in 78 ESR. Maybe I'll rework the bisect and see where firefox started failing under SCHED_RR.

I'm no longer certain that this bug is the same issue that others are reporting. It seems unlikely that there would be so many people running in SCHED_RR.

It seems to only be a problem when firefox is loading. If I set SCHED_RR after it is loaded it doesn't seem to crash (or at least, it hasn't yet):

chrt -o 0 firefox &
for i in `pgrep -fw firefox`; do sudo chrt -p -r 11 $i; done

(In reply to Eric Wheeler from comment #77)

chrt -o 0 firefox &
for i in `pgrep -fw firefox`; do sudo chrt -p -r 11 $i; done

It turns out that this is false, firefox does eventually crash even if SCHED_RR is set after it loads: the tab crashes when I select a field that makes an AJAX request.

So, firefox under SCHED_RR just isn't stable.

Ok, so starting over now that I have a good test script using chrt -r 11, mozregression still shows the same nightly good/bad versions:

 2:32.58 INFO: Last good revision: 0cf9eded35d8150796eda1f892666d0a778bd488 (2019-08-26)
 2:32.58 INFO: First bad revision: 4c09da80722fcf62db02f19dc67f3f1a6b88f84d (2019-08-27)

Here is my test script

#!/bin/bash

set -x 

timeout 7 chrt -r 11 "$@"
rc=$?

# Good if it times out, bad if it crashes within 7 seconds:
if [ $rc = 124 ]; then 
	echo GOOD
	echo hg bisect --good
	exit 0
else
	echo BAD
	echo hg bisect --bad
	exit 1
fi

Now lets see if the same behavior manifests while bisecting the build tree with hg...

Well it seems that the bisect of the nightly builds was not representative of the bug I'm trying to pin down. Even the earliest changeset indicated by the

Perhaps it is the difference between the nightly build environment from 2019 and the one I've built in CentOS 7.

For all builds that we built and all nighlty builds after and including 2019-08-27:

This works:

  chrt -o 0 firefox

and this does not:

  chrt -r 11 firefox

Not sure what else to troubleshoot, but I'll just run it in SCHED_OTHER. I'm done troubleshooting, but I'll open a dedicated ticket for this issue.

Here is the bug specific to the chrt issue: Bug#1746556 .

I'm done troubleshooting unless someone asks for more information so hopefully all this helps someone along the way!

Cheers,

Hello,

Today I could navigate with firefox 1 hour, not crash after upgrading Firefox to 93.0-1 (gnome+xorg).

Maybe tomorrow I can try 91.2.0esr-1 too ... or check with wayland 93.0-1

I hope return to firefox as my default browser !

Thank you!

Firefox (98) and firefox-esr (91) are crashing or failing again. Not clue at about:crashes. GNOME + Xorg environment

I downloaded firefox 93 , seems like it not crash. maybe I test from firefox 93 to 97, I will review the firefox 96 first (the previous firefox debian package that I had installed)

Firefox 96.0.3 from Mozilla won't crash at my laptop. I'm using it since I wrote the last comment

I'm using Firefox 96.0.3 (firefox-wayland package) on NixOS and it crashes regularly.
I'm running jackd2 with pulse audio plugin as audio source.
I switched to wayland because X11 is pretty slow on higher workloads. X11 firefox is also quite unstable and now even firefox-wayland crashes every 2-3 hours :(

This might also be because I was running a PREEMTIVE_VOLUNTARY with zfs, which causes periodic hangs. Anyways, closing firefox as a result is definitly not right

The bug has a release status flag that shows some version of Firefox is affected, thus it will be considered confirmed.

When it crashes for me, I do not get any crash report from FF. In about:crashes, I see:

No crash reports have been submitted.

I also tried running FF in gdb, and when it crashes I see the following. Not sure if this is useful though.

Interesting, I just found about that bug while working on bug 1780796 where I spotted some intermittent test. Behavior seems to be consistent with what is described here:

MOZ_CHAOSMODE=0xfb BUILD_DEBUG=1 ./mach mochitest --repeat 10 --run-until-failure --keep-open=false --headless ipc/glue/test/browser/browser_utility_multipleAudio.js

This will intermittently fail (quite often on my laptop to investigate). Content process in the test is running some audio, has SIGXCPU handler set. At some point we hit SIGXCPU. Then I can see this process did it ~50ms after having done the last thing I could track, a DispatchTask() call that does not seems to happen. No activity on that process for the next 200ms and we get SIGKILL. This is aligned with the soft and hard limit heing set of 50ms and 200ms by audio code.

Any chance that this log would relate to this bug? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752717#c10

Comment in another bug about the same error message:

Someone on gentoo forums suggested my issue was due to dependency libwebp, because I compiled it using Clang+ThinLTO. After recompiled libwebp without LTO, the compiled firefox worked normally.
