libx11-xcb.so.1 is likely being loaded as a dependency of some other library. Please attach the full strace output.

Based on the strace log, it looks like it is crashing in dlopen("/opt/firefox/libxul.so").
Okay, reproduced with apulse.
The problem is still there in www-client/firefox-bin-119.0-r1 $ firefox-bin Segmentation fault See attached strace output

Re: www-client/firefox-bin-119.0-r1 Ditto. (Me too.) Reverting to 118.0.2 restored functionality.
So I think apulse needs to be updated to work with 119.0. Looking at https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse/issues/121 I'm not very hopeful that would happen. Someone should still report this to apulse upstream, maybe there's someone with an idea how to fix it. Unfortunately as the issue seems to be at least in firefox-bin, there's not much that can be done to fix it.

Mysterious. I wonder if they added some apulse detection upstream in 119 which makes it obsolete or something.
/usr/bin/firefox-bin still has these lines: APULSELIB_DIR="/usr/lib64/apulse" ... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${APULSELIB_DIR:+${APULSELIB_DIR}:}${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}" So they suffice, I guess. # Or rather, why LD_LIBRARY_PATH is insufficient, and patchelf is necessary, unless libpulse.so path is hardcoded? ## Dunno what patchelf is exactly. Sorry if my comment misses the point.

It shouldn't be using apulse after that modification. And I also doubt upstream Mozilla has done anything to support apulse either, buuut who knows, might have to take a deeper look.

No, my system is stricly -pulseaudio +alsa with no pipewire. apulse is installed.

Same here: +alsa -pulseaudio, apulse, no pipewire. I long ago learned that any of the open-surce software mixers, even if you can get them correctly configured, are a poor substitute for an EMU10K1 card with hardware mixing. I've tested Teika's patch and verified it appears to work correctly for me.
I, too, can confirm that removing the patchelf command gives a working firefox build (including sound!) I did some poking around Mozilla's bugzilla and didn't see anything related to audio that looked all that interesting, so I used Mozilla's mozregression tool to see if it provided anything useful... here's what it said: 13:25.85 INFO: Narrowed integration regression window from [c8336f0a, 68879cdd] (3 builds) to [c8336f0a, 032b87ff] (2 builds) (~1 steps left) 13:25.85 INFO: No more integration revisions, bisection finished. 13:25.85 INFO: Last good revision: c8336f0ad9fba7249e6fa871f0cf96660c9c3b97 13:25.85 INFO: First bad revision: 032b87ff55061bcbdc7a85d9e18fde814797073a 13:25.85 INFO: Pushlog: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/pushloghtml?fromchange=c8336f0ad9fba7249e6fa871f0cf96660c9c3b97&tochange=032b87ff55061bcbdc7a85d9e18fde814797073a This is the specific commit referenced in the pushlog: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/032b87ff55061bcbdc7a85d9e18fde814797073a And this is the original Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1850866 This, in turn, references https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1839740, which is about "modernizing elfhack," (whatever that is... but wait for it!) the bug conveniently references a blog post on elfhack: https://glandium.org/blog/?p=4297 (which, in turn, goes into a fair amount of details about what "relhack" is, and that seems to be the smoking gun). So, tl;dr: I don't think this has (or ever had) anything to do with apulse or audio in general; it was the patchelf command in the ebuild that probably conflicted with Mozilla's new "relhack" linker munging tool, which got turned on in their official build system for 119.x. I'd also guess that the reason "everything works" after removing that command is because the /usr/bin/firefox-bin wrapper still sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the apulse lib directory for -pulseaudio +alsa configurations. So, I think the above patch is a pretty solid candidate for a firefox-bin-119.0-r2 ebuild.
Many thanks for doing that work. Agreed!
