Two days ago I have update KDE from 4.7.4 to 4.8.0. Since this update I have the following reproducible bug: Whenever I download a file with Firefox 9.0, immediately after the download is finished, Firefox crashes. After restart of Firefox, all the tabs get reloaded. It seems that Firefox crashes upon closing the download window (I always use the setting that downloads are saved to a location that I can choose, not to a standard download folder). Firefox 9.0 and all versions before have not shown this behaviour under older KDE versions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install KDE 4.8.0 2. install Firefox 9.0 3. download a file 4. see Firefox crash after the download is complete. Actual Results: Firefox crashes. Expected Results: no crash
It's a segmentation fault. When I start firefox from the shell and download a file (in this case a patch from www.kernel.org), I get a segmentation fault (Speicherzugriffsfehler in German) in kgtk2-wrapper with libkgtk2.so: ------------------------------------------------------------------ stefan@stefan ~ $ firefox ACR (Component): component init FoxyProxy settingsDir: /home/stefan/.mozilla/firefox/ma03wisc.default/foxyproxy.xml 1131662705 > 2249141112 (firefox:6101): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_get_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed /usr/bin/kgtk2-wrapper: Zeile 33: 6101 Speicherzugriffsfehler LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/kgtk/libkgtk2.so:$LD_PRELOAD "$@" ------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meantime I have uninstalled the package "kgtk". Firefox no longer crashes. Obviously kgtk is broken with KDE 4.8.
Has nothing to do with mozilla and everything to do with kde.
Which version of kgtk was it?
(In reply to comment #4) > Which version of kgtk was it? Both versions 0.10 and 0.11.
I cannot reproduce the issue with Firefox 10.0, KDE 4.8.0, and kgtk 0.11.0

I can repro this bug also in Firefox 10.0 with kgtk version 0.11. This bug is not resolved, pls reopen! --------------- $ firefox ACR (Component): component init FoxyProxy settingsDir: /home/stefan/.mozilla/firefox/ma03wisc.default/foxyproxy.xml 2424250677 > 2421863860 CHECK IS 2333766647 (firefox:6158): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_entry_get_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed /usr/bin/kgtk2-wrapper: Zeile 33: 6158 Speicherzugriffsfehler LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/kgtk/libkgtk2.so:$LD_PRELOAD "$@" ------------
Two requests: first, for the sake of thoroughness: does Firefox still crash when you select Help -> Restart with Add-Ons Disabled ? Second, could you please give us the result of "emerge -pv firefox", in case the issue relates to a particular USE flag or LINGUAS setting? I doubt either of these will actually point to the issue, but I would like to be thorough in order to try and reproduce the bug.

I have tested "Help -> Restart with Add-Ons Disabled". Firefox 10.0.1/ kgtk 0.11.0 also crashes with disabled add-ons. As I mentioned initially in my bug report, this defect happens since I had upgraded from KDE 4.7.x to KDE 4.8.0, with Firefox 9.0 and kgtk 0.10 installed. I doubt that it's a Firefox issue.
If this bug would not be reproducible and it would only me having this issue, I would suggest you don't follow up on this. I live happily without having kgtk installed.
Masked. # Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@gentoo.org> (22 Mar 2012) # Even its author admits that it's an ugly hack. Crashes e.g. # firefox with kde-4.8. Unmask at your own risk. kde-misc/kgtk
I can't reproduce segfaulting too. And, by the way, I have warnings like: (process:8624): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_main_context_pop_thread_default: assertion `g_queue_peek_head (stack) == context' failed even when running without kgtk-wrapper. So, I'd be happy if gentoo portage team don't remove kgtk from the tree and continue maintaining ;)
