Description Joe Kappus 2021-11-07 07:01:06 UTC

Firefox 94.0.1 (and probably 94.0.0) segfault in pure wayland when it is not built with the dbus useflag. It will run in xwayland just fine. -bin also not affected by this bug. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build firefox with wayland useflag set and dbus unset
2. Try to open firefox in a wayland compositor
3. Watch as nothing happens.
Actual Results:  
Maybe segfault message, maybe no message. Depends on how firefox feels. 

Expected Results:  
Firefox should run in wayland. Ebuild should make wayland useflag depend on dbus useflag being set. Can only get away without dbus in X. 

May be related to Bug #821505. I hit those error messages when trying pgo builds under 2 versions of llvm/clang and rust. I'm up to recompile #8 for the day. My current working build is -pgo and -lto, I'm trying a new build with both set. 

Since other bugs are open and upstream says firefox not ready for llvm/clang 13, I'm building with 12.0.1 and rust-1.55.

This is still an issue with firefox-94.0.1-r1, so it is unrelated to Bug #821505. It's independent of toolchain issues.
