577314 - Weave cannot load crypto component

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 508118

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Joel J. Adamson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100622 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100622 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4

SELinux reports a denial:

SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox from loading /home/joel/.mozilla/firefox/[secret].default/extensions/[secret]/platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/WeaveCrypto.so which requires text relocation.

Firefox Sync cannot sync and reports "Unknown error" when trying to sync.  The SELinux denial report says to report a bug "until the library is fixed."

Even after applying the suggested chcon command, Sync still reports the unknown error.  I get no errors in the Firefox Error Console.


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Weave won't sync

Expected Results:  
Weave will sync

I have two other Fedora 13 machines: on one I have had no errors, on the other Weave has never worked (since doing a fresh install of FEdora 13) and on this machine Weave worked fine until upgrading to FEdora 13 yesterday.

The workaround here is to use Firefox 4 Beta, as we don't need the binary components there.  As the binary components exist for 3.5/3.6, they are not a development priority at this time.
