Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

Actual results:

tab crashed, bug reported higlighted issues with XQueryExtension, libX11, libGTK, and so on... I'm running Arch Linux and this started happened recently, and can be reproduced with firefox-esr too:

Expected results:

tab shouldn't have crashed

Also opening "about:support" page will make Firefox crash totally.

This doesn't happen in safe mode, but it happens on a fresh profile (without 3rd party extensions).

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Also Firefox on wayland will always crash at startup when "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" is true: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/5b84f28a-811c-472d-ad18-0a5540200416

An Arch user discovered that the wrong library is loaded in the case popcorntime is installed in the system. Removing popcorntime will solve the problem.

However, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1628110 is still happening.

Actually, I was wrong. After removing popcorntime and rebooting, Firefox is working properly with Wayland and "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" set to true. Even webrender and dmabuf vaapi are working fine.

My apologies for the confusion.

Thanks for finding this out!
