I installed the opera client to send these messages.
I downgrade to version mozilla-firefox-bin-2.0.0.19 and with this version I don't have problems, the firefox 2 don't crash. Don't forget my system is 64bits multilib and the firefox is 32bits.
I have the same problem. I'm pretty sure the update that broke firefox-bin is this: 1230412849: >>> emerge (1 of 7) sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.28 to / 1230412905: >>> emerge (2 of 7) app-admin/eselect-ruby-20081227 to / 1230412911: >>> emerge (3 of 7) app-arch/tar-1.21 to / 30412963: >>> emerge (4 of 7) dev-libs/libtasn1-1.7 to / 1230412986: >>> emerge (5 of 7) sys-apps/busybox-1.13.1 to / 1230413034: >>> emerge (6 of 7) net-ftp/vsftpd-2.0.7-r1 to / 1230413046: >>> emerge (7 of 7) sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1 to / I think something was wrong with the glibc update.
Why do you both use unstable glibc???
I use the unstable branch because i find it stable enough and i like having the lastest packages.And i can help with testing:) letto@local ~ $ cat /etc/make.conf | grep -i keyword ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" :D
You are sure you are using firefox-bin? What is the output of "ldd /usr/bin/firefox"? Additionally, could you downgrade glibc to the previous version (glibc-2.9_p20081201, with an backup first) and test it with firefox-bin?
letto@local ~ $ ldd /usr/bin/firefox not a dynamic executable letto@local ~ $ ldd /usr/bin/firefox-bin not a dynamic executable letto@local ~ $ ls -l /usr/bin/firefox lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Aug 29 12:42 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-bin mozilla-firefox is not installed, only the bin package is installed. I tried to downgrade glibc but it won't let me, it said "Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction". Can you tell me how to force portage to do this and what should i backup anyway ?
I download the binary firefox from the mozilla site and this binary have the some problem. # tail -f /var/log/syslog Dec 28 20:16:49 patolino kernel: firefox-bin[12891]: segfault at 9600000 ip 00000000f7f24b62 sp 00000000ee5fd358 error 4 in libjemalloc.so[f7f20000+8000] I think the problem is this lib: libjemalloc.so The xulrunner use this lib: ls -la /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libjemalloc.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34984 Dec 28 11:26 /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/libjemalloc.so
Just for your info: I also use ~amd64, but have blocked >=sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 in package.mask (it's always a good thing to block unstable glibc updates for while until rough edges settle, a thing I learned the hard way). With that setup mozilla-firefox-bin works fine. Btw: I've manually installed flash9 from adobe site, flash10 crashes both firefox (64 bit) and firefox-bin (32-bit) for me. I'm currently on sys-libs/glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1 for your info.
It is possible that the upgrade to sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1 break the firefox? How can I dowgrade to sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201. With the sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 the firefox work fine, because I only have this problem after upgrade the firefox to 3.0.5 and the glibc to 2.9_p20081201-r1. When I try downgrade a get the following message: * Messages for package sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201: * Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system: * Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction * * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 failed.

Please report back after this change.
Thanks, now firefox work fine with sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201. The sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1 package crash the firefox. After the downgrade I don't have any problem. The downgrade of sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1 to sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 not break the system.
