1605559 - Firefox 71 with Wayland crashes after called with parameter

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1608029

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthias Braun]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use Firefox on Sway with the Wayland backend enabled: MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.

2. On the command line make Firefox 71 open a URL or an image, for example: firefox test_img.svg.

3. This will open the website or image fine in Firefox' window, but when switching to that window, Firefox crashes.

Actual results:

Firefox crashes. Here is a crash report that I filed: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/d7caa966-c380-40dc-82ce-b4c0e0191209

Expected results:

Don't crash.

I can work around this issue two ways:

1. Downgrade to Firefox 70.
2. Use Firefox 71 but enable X11 as the window protocol instead of Wayland with unset MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND.

Thanks, but I'm not aware of any fix we did for that, I guess it's caused by system setup / state. Please reopen if you see it again.
