User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0
Steps to reproduce:
The problem is reproducible :
- Launch a VM
- Open FF (1 window with 1 single tab)
- Save the VM
- Restore the VM
- Try to work in in FF, it crashed immediately
Actual results:
FF crashes whenever I restore a VirtualBox VM from saved state
I'm pretty sure it's a FF issue, somewhere related to VirtualBox, because :
- all other applications, including other web browsers, work just fine (I tested Opera and Chrome)
- I don't have that problem on my host : when it wakes up from sleep or hibernation, FF works fine
My specs :
- FF103, fresh install, empty profile, no add-on.
I tested also FF100 and FF89, same behavior - Host : Linux Debian 11.4 / VirtualBox 6.1.36
- Guest : Linux Debian 11.4 / Gnome Shell 3.38
I tested also Debian 11.4 with FluxBox, just to be sure that it is not Gnome related. Same behavior.
Expected results:
FF shouldn't crash

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

You can close this bug report, I just figured out what was wrong.
It was due to my specific setup : my FF installation was on the virtual box host, with a symlink from the guest to the installation folder on the host (through a shared vbox folder). I did that to have only one FF installation to manage throughout all my vms. It works fine, except when I resume from a saved state, then FF crashes.
Copying the installation folder directly to the VM instead of using symlinks solved the problem.
