User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206145143

Steps to reproduce:

On Linux mint 16 (Cinnamon x86_64) using Firefox 26.0 and addon-sdk-1.15. I've been fallowing: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Getting_Started_With_cfx while running command "cfx run" I've got lots of errors and warnings in command prop.


Actual results:

No expected icon in right bottom corner, and command prop full of:

Using binary at '/usr/bin/firefox'.

Expected results:

Expected behaviour is described in "Getting Started With cfx". "M" icon does not show up.

This looks like it could be from a GLib issue in bug 833117. What GLib version are you running?

dpkg -s libglib2.0-0 | grep Version -> Version: 2.38.1-0ubuntu1

Check out the comments in bug 833117 -- some work arounds are possible, I think. Are you able to run Firefox normally, outside of using CFX and addon development?

Comment 4

[zawiczek]

There is no problem with Firefox, but it's a pity that because of this bug CFX flow of building addons is disrupted.

This bug affects me. I filed a separate report here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057336

How do I change the bug status to 'confirmed'?

Dear Loic

You marked my other account of this bug as "resolved" on account of the workarounds given in bug 833117.

(see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi#add_comment).

Bug 963979 does indeed *seem* related - but it does not provide a solution: it merely suggests a workaround for bug 833117.

I tried that suggested workaround ($export G_SLICE=always-malloc) for this tutorial bug. It did not solve my problem.

Either way, a workaround is not a fix.

Two questions:

* How do I change the status to 'confirmed'?

* Where is the best place to report a bug in a tutorial?

i.e. This is a bug in the tutorial since the tutorial example doesn't work. But by dismissing it as another bug that *seems* may be the *cause* of the tutorial bug, misses the point.

The fact remains that the tutorial example doesn't work. That is the bug.

Sorry we won't be releasing any new versions of cfx, jpm is the replacement https://www.npmjs.com/package/jpm
