Description Pavel Šimerda 2020-11-29 14:37:02 UTC

I have just fully upgraded Tumbleweed. Firefox tabs now crash on StackOverflow, LinkedIn, Reddit and probably much more. The whole Firefox instance crashes on about:support. It might be related to Wayland.

An interesting thing is:

/usr/bin/firefox crashes.

/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox doesn't crash.

Therefore it must probably be somewhat related to the environment. The following error is in the console (only when a tab/instance) crashes.

Can't find symbol 'eglSwapBuffersWithDamageEXT'.

In both cases I removed WAYLAND related ENV variables including WAYLAND_DISPLAY and MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND but not SWAYSOCK.

Comment 1 Pavel Šimerda 2020-11-29 14:41:17 UTC

It must be somewhat related to GL.

$ unset MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND
$ /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox

The above sequence gets rid of the crashes. Not wayland enabled. Not /usr/bin/firefox.

I wonder if this is somehow related to bug 1179298. Do you have Chromium installed on your system?

I have Chromium installed. That bug report unfortunately doesn't have instructions to check & workaround.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2021-01-04 11:31:45 UTC

Not really. :-( You'll need to update chromium. And make sure the change 

- Remove erroneous call to ldconfig which causes Firefox crashes (boo#1179298)

is in. I believe we can close this as duplicate.  Updates are available for openSUSE since end of November 2020.

That has been the fix.

I confirm that I no longer see this issue in updated Tumbleweed.

However, this bug was reported at the end of November using a fully updated and restarted Tumbleweed! How is that possible?

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2021-01-05 12:07:23 UTC

You reported it one day before fixed updates for openSUSE Leap were available. I don't know when it has been fixed for Tumbleweed.
