Description Franz Trischberger 2016-03-18 09:40:58 UTC
I clicked on a link to open a pdf file. I wanted to change the proposed application. The list did not contain "zathura", so I clicked on "use other" which opened a nice list where I could select different applications associated with that mimetype. I selected zathura and clicked on apply, which caused the crash.

Installed version:
firefox-45.0^d(12:31:00 15.03.2016)(custom-cflags dbus ffmpeg gstreamer gtk3 hwaccel jemalloc3 jit pulseaudio system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx system-sqlite -bindist -custom-optimization -debug -gmp-autoupdate -gstreamer-0 -hardened -neon -pgo -selinux -startup-notification -system-cairo -test -wifi)

Comment 2 Franz Trischberger 2016-04-27 06:28:31 UTC
It seems this is a regression in glib. It got fixed yesterday:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762994
I applied the patch to glib-2.48.0 and firefox-45.0.1[gtk3] doesn't trigger this crash anymore.

For reference the upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1244305
Comment 3 Franz Trischberger 2016-05-01 04:38:43 UTC
This now also affect firefox-bin-46.0 as it uses gtk3.
Gnome team: Do you plan to ship the patch? Or do you know about an imminent glib bugfix release?
Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-01 14:38:18 UTC
Confirmed; added the patch in glib-2.48.0-r1: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=b5b12009bb9ee5e6ddfcceae47c3d96bd6656023

Can you please test whether applying the patch to glib-2.46.2-r2 also fixes the issue? Because I want to quickly stabilize a revision of glib with which the new firefox won't crash - and 2.46.x is a better candidate for quick stabilization.
Comment 5 Franz Trischberger 2016-05-01 15:14:57 UTC
I've got an issue while downgrading glib to 2.46.2-r2:

Is that expected when downgrading glib?
As you see this is unpatched as I first wanted to confirm te firefox-crash with original glib-2.46.2-r2.

When looking for the error message I found this:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=c13b5e88c6e9c7bd2698d844cb5ed127ed809f7e

(If you want I can open a new issue to keep things seperate - I just want to know if this really is an issue.)
Comment 6 Franz Trischberger 2016-05-01 15:38:42 UTC
emerge -C glib helped (looks like #580302)
Unpatched glib-2.46.2-r2 crashes firefox.
The same patch also applies to glib-2.46.2-r2 and fixes the crash. At least for me ;)
Comment 7 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-02 02:04:27 UTC
Thanks for testing. Also OK in my tests. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=a8ee79a39dab7e2267308b7207803d9726e486f2
