OS: FreeBSD 14.2 amd64
Hardware: a number Lenovo laptops
Firefox-esr is installed in a vnet jail which is configured to use X-forwarding
either through a socket (null-mounted), with xhost and DISPLAY set or through
ssh -X.
When firefox-esr is started it dies immediately with segmentation fault.
Example:
$ /usr/local/bin/firefox
Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: Failed to initialize
shared font list, falling back to in-process list. (t=0.742647) [GFX1-]: Failed
to initialize shared font list, falling back to in-process list.
Segmentation fault
I get a core dump which shows pretty much nothing. I will attach the output
from bt all.
This problem seems to happen on firefox 136.x and newer, firefox-esr 128.x and
librewolf 136.x and newer.
I first experienced this with librewolf version 136.x and later with firefox
138.x.
Yesterday I reinstalled my Lenovo T14 gen4 laptop with a fresh 14.2.
It happens on 3 laptops I have tested this on (Lenovo T14 gen4, Lenovo Thinkpad
Yoga 14 and a Lenovo x230). I have tested RAM on all three machines with
memtest without issues.
On the Yoga laptop I have a jail with firefox 135.x and firefox 136.x. Firefox
135.x does not die with segmentation fault 136.x does.
On the same machine I built librewolf 138.x (from ports) with debugging
enabled. This makes the problem go away.
I don't know how to debug this any further. I am willing to test suggestions
and provide feedback if the person asking for feedback is a bit patient (I can
usually test and provide feedback in a week or two but sometimes life happens
and it takes longer).
