When going to Dell site and configure a laptop offer, it crashes, when showing something like "verifying system build", right after finishing the configuration. Result: Segmentation fault. Tried in Valgrind 5 times (too long for comment, see attachment). URL found when searching for js_MonitorLoopEdge (which Valgrind found in tests 2 and 5). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 209819 [details] Output of 5 testruns in Valgrind (each time restoring the crashed webpage)
Version 3.5.5 crashes in the same way.
Please provide emerge --info and a list of all plugins installed, I have tested multiple times and have had no success with creating a crash.
Created attachment 209877 [details] emerge --info
Created attachment 209879 [details] find ~/.mozilla Is the list of plugins somewhere in here?
easiest way to identify plugins is open browser and type in about:plugins, please copy and paste it into a text file and attach. Also run firefox --safe-mode to disable all plugins and retest.
The crash seems unrelated to anything in ~/.mozilla (tried as a user, where I moved that directory away first). about:plugins only shows DjVuLibre-3.5.21 Here are the USE-flags: # emerge -pv mozilla-firefox These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

(In reply to comment #6) > run firefox --safe-mode to disable all plugins Still crashes, so it is unrelated to plugins, settings, themes and all that.

Unussable here, crash a lot surfing internet.
For me, problems disappear with this (supper) command: # emerge -aveDN mozilla-firefox (supposing wrong emerge order of packages in last build)

Possibly this is related to bug #291727. If you start firefox from a terminal do you see XID collision messages before the segfault?

erik: were you able to fix this? i ran into the same issue. i modified my CFLAGS to a more conservative -O2 and did and emerge -eva system. fixed the crashes and segfaults and also fixed what i thought was an unrelated chromium and adobe-flash issue. original CFLAGS=-march=k8 -O3 -pipe current CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" check out this forum thread too. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-801865-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html

My CFAGS where a somewhat different though. I'm not sure why this would have broke it so badly. originally, CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" then I tried this which totally broke firefox, CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" I ened up switching it back to the way it was to get firefox working again. Maybe I needed to rebuild world with the new flags... (I was seeing firefox crashes when viewing a photo's page on flikr.com.)
No longer reproducible with version 3.6.3.
