Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

Firefox nightlies crashes a few seconds after going to pandora.com. I see this on the console:

###!!! ABORT: X_ShmPutImage: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes); 72 requests ago: file /builds/slave/m-cen-lnx64-ntly/build/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 190

And a few crashes:

Could be ad related. I just installed adblock in this profile, and the crashes have stopped.

Looks like libflashplayer.so is loaded in the browser process.
Have you disabled out of process plugins?

I've just had a string like
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-e2848c90-3e4f-42ab-9ecb-4d0aa2111209
and ran across this as related.
Tried Adblock and the crashes have stopped.

Should I click Report Bug to get a number?
I'm deprived using this system but it seemed to help me.

That looks like a similar crash report to this one, but I don't see any libflashplayer.so threads in that report.

libmurrine.so is the GTK theme engine in the new report, but the original report used libsmooth.so.

A crash report submitted from a browser run with MOZ_X_SYNC=1 in the environment may be helpful.

I am not a bug reporter by nature - are you saying I should disable Adblock, tag on MOZ_X_SYNC=1 to the command, and create another crash?

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

Yes, please.  The command "MOZ_X_SYNC=1 path/to/firefox -no-remote" should start the browser in the right way.

It means it's caused by an ad in Flash. Try to find it to put it in the URL field.

bp-fc696f9e-6005-4a3c-9c5d-7ad4c2111212 also has libflashplayer.so on the stack of the browser process.

Check in about:config that all dom.ipc.plugins.* preferences are at their defaults.
We don't make any effort to support running Flash Player in the browser process.

Comment 11

[u389280]

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled was set to false - set to true - added dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so;true to config (it was not there) - disabled Adblock - went to offending site - no crash.
So I'm guessing https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/fc696f9e-6005-4a3c-9c5d-7ad4c2111212 is not generated by a bug.
This generated a total of 15 crashes - does one delete them somehow to lighten load or is that handled machanically?

Thanks for the education.

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

Thanks for testing.  I'll mark this worksforme.
No need to delete the crash reports - I don't know whether that's even possible.

Comment 13

[Jean Claveau]

I had the same bug for a while (months) and wasn't able to fix it until I found this bug.

Shouldn't firefox warn people if it crashes with dom.ipc.plugins.enabled set to false?

Here is my crash report if it can help : bp-0e20e884-7eff-4606-9d2e-db51c2120406

Thanks for the explanation btw.
