Description Pasi Sakala 2005-02-12 01:58:20 UTC
After updating my system firefox, it crashes with following error:

/opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to find a running server.
No running windows found
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x08a9dc60 ***

With strace I got:
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8077640, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x4006c2e8}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0waitpid(-1, *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08b856f0 ***

I also deleted ~/.mozilla, but that didn't have any affect.





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update system
2. Run firefox
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox keeps crashing on startup.

Expected Results:  
Firefox start normally without errors.
