interesting seeing I have updated and all is fine .... please emerge strace and run `strace firefox' and post it please.
I'd start cleaning out the CFLAGS.
Nuno: Rebuild gtk+ with sane CFLAGS, try again. If you can narrow down the particular problem flag then we can filter it in the gtk+ ebuild. mozilla-firefox already filters CFLAGS heavily.
Created attachment 61826 [details] strace
builded gtk+- with "-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" strace attached.
I have the same problem, on my amd64 (can't post emerge info right now but it must be almost identical to Alexandre's one.

would one of you please mv ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.bck and try and start firefox in a terminal.
I did it, and it outputs : No running windows found (firefox-bin:31297): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?) *** nsExtensionManager::_disableObsoleteExtensions - failure, catching exception so finalize window can close *** loading the extensions datasource *** ExtensionManager:_updateManifests: no access privileges to application directory, skipping.

In fact, firefox IS launched as firefox-bin is shown is ps, but no window is drawn...
mort do me one more favor and run strace firefox-bin make sure you move the newly created .mozilla dir so you get the exact output as before please ... attach it to bug or email it to me directly.

Comment on attachment 62255 [details] strace firefox strace firefox > firefox.log 2>&1
I added the strace, if it can help... (I attached the wrong one the first time ^_^).
aight one last piece of info please and I will be able to get this fixed ... I am sure it is the new abi for gtk that is causing the problem, I need you to chown -R sername:users .mozilla You will have to be root for this but wanna make sure permissions are correct. Once this step is complete try firefox once more report success or faillure once again.
OK, I did the chown, and still no luck... But I've a doubt on the dir you wanted me to chown : was it really .mozilla or /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox ? Because for .mozilla, no need to be root... Anyway, I also did the chown on /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox and couldn't launch firefox any better...
*** Bug 98868 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
1.0.5 is in the tree if you would build and test it would be much appreciated. Report back on how things go.
no luck. firefox-1.0.5 with gtk-2.6.8 (firefox-bin:14172): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?) firefox-1.0.5 with gtk-2.6.7 works fine.

What do you guys think of this? mozilla/gfx/src/gtk/nsScreenGtk.cpp (line 140+) if (!gdk_property_get(root_window, gdk_atom_intern ("_NET_WORKAREA", FALSE), cardinal_atom, 0, G_MAXLONG, FALSE, &type_returned, &format_returned, &length_returned, (guchar **) &workareas)) { // This window manager doesn't support the freedesktop standard. // Nothing we can do about it, so assume full screen size. return; } // Flush the X queue to catch errors now. gdk_flush(); if (!gdk_error_trap_pop() && type_returned == cardinal_atom && length_returned && (length_returned % 4) == 0 && format_returned == 32) { int num_items = length_returned / sizeof(long); for (int i = 0; i < num_items; i += 4) { nsRect workarea(workareas[i], workareas[i + 1], workareas[i + 2], workareas[i + 3]); if (!mRect.Contains(workarea)) { NS_WARNING("Invalid bounds"); continue; } mAvailRect.IntersectRect(mAvailRect, workarea); } } The gdk_property_get causes the warning, though the warningn seems to be cosmetic only. Then, when running with gdb, I see: WARNING: Invalid bounds, file nsScreenGtk.cpp, line 169 And looking at it: (gdb) p mRect $27 = { x = 0, y = 0, width = 1024, height = 768 } (gdb) p workarea $28 = { x = 0, y = 1024, width = 32, height = 33 } Something seems very wrong here. Could it be the following cast: (guchar **) &workareas That's as far as gdb took me.
OK, to put this in a new light. $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/portage/gtk+-2.6.8/image/usr/lib64 firefox >/dev/null No running windows found nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering begins. nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering succeeded nNCL: registering deferred (0) WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) failed, file nsINIParser.cpp, line 51 (firefox-bin:1015914): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?) WARNING: Invalid bounds, file nsScreenGtk.cpp, line 169 WARNING: Invalid bounds, file nsScreenGtk.cpp, line 169 WARNING: Invalid bounds, file nsScreenGtk.cpp, line 169 No such warnings with gtk+-2.6.7 Using gdb against both 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 and I see that with 2.6.7 gdk_property_get returns 0 items (length = 0), but with 2.6.8 it returns plenty. So, asking for the NET_WORKAREA hint, and receiving an answer, does break things... Seeing that this is possibly a problem of the windowmanager, I tried running firefox from twm (as opposed from windowmaker until now). Guess what -- works flawlessly. Can anyone else confirm that running with twm solves the problem? What window manager do you use? What should the proper solution be? I am guessing that when firefox detects "Invalid bounds" it could proceed as if it got no answer?
Created attachment 63458 [details, diff] firefox-badfreedesktop.patch This patchety patch solved it for me. It's definitely not a proper fix, but at least firefox is working now.
Patch didnt work for me.
For me it "solved" the problem : I still have the error message but firefox starts !
Created attachment 63573 [details] Ebuild with Patch for AMD64 Well this is the ebuild I made for it. If someone wants to look it over to make sure I did it right that would be great. Thanks
What about your windowmanagers, people? As I mentioned earlier, I have the problem with windowmaker but not with twm. I have nothing else installed to try out, but it would be nice to hear other experiences. The patch above fixed it for one and not for another. That reminds me that with a debugging firefox I was getting three "invalid bounds" messages, but I had four workspaces. So, it might be that if you have only one workspace you don't hit the "break" in the patch and it doesn't work for you. Trager, could you create one more workspace and see if firefox works? If that is the case, we can simply remove that piece of code (sed -i -e '159,+16 d' ${S}/gfx/src/gtk/nsScreenGtk.cpp) until the proper fix is found.
As mcuh as we would like to get this resolved as fast as possible it seems we have hit a wall. A patch that works for some and does not for others hmm... If someone would take the time and test on firefox gnome and kde and report back it would help speed the proccess along ... Sorry I can not test this myself I do not have an amd64 setup.
Georgiev, I have 4 workspaces and im using fluxbox, I dont have anyother wm installed.
I'm using Fvwm with 4 worksapces, and the patch worked (I also applied it to thunderbird as it was also affected).

Oh, hell, my box is idle all day so I can as well install a few more windowmanagers.
OK, I did some more testing and here are the results: patched unpatched fvwm OK HANG kwin OK OK metacity OK OK twm OK OK wmaker (1 WS) OK OK wmaker (2,4 WS) OK HANG xfwm4 OK OK To summarize: for me, the original unpatched firefox failed only with fvwm and windowmaker with more than one workspace. With all other windowmanagers it worked just fine.
I just look at firefox on my x86 machine and it does get the warning but does not crash. Im on fluxbox and firefox still dosnt not work, does anyone see a fix for this?
Lee are you using the latest stable version of firefox or still on 1.0.4?
It seems fvwm 2.5.13 or firefox-1.0.6 solved the problem for me, as I don't have to apply the patch anymore.

Update to mozilla-1.7.12-r1 or firefox-1.0.7-r1.
Err, I might have misread the version numbers :] Anyhow, try with mentioned versions.
I am using AMD64, firefox-1.0.7-r1 segmentation falted as described in this bug report.

Added the patch to -r2 of firefox-1.0.7 and mozilla-1.7.12. PS, do you have hardened profile to need the 'filter-flags -fstack-protector' ?

I'm stille having the problem with -r2 even though I dont see the Gdk warning any more. I'm using openbox as my windowmanager and I'm on AMD64

Err, after the 'inherit' line that is ...
I copied /usr/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox to /usr/local/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox edited mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r2.ebuild I added mine like so above the Configure and build: # remove -fstack-protector because now it borks firefox filter-flags -fstack-protector #################################### # # Configure and build # #################################### George
*** Bug 107662 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Filtering -fstack-protector fixes this problem for me as well. Of course, this really isn't the greatest solution - I can think of few apps for which stack-protection is more important than a web-browser!
Please try -r3.
It looks like -r3 still removes -fstack-protector. That may eliminate the segfault, but obviously not the source of the problem. Perhaps a bug should be filed upstream if that is where the problem lies?
I found a solution to my problem... Firefox was not the source of the trouble, but it was openbox. According to the freedesktop specs the _NET_WORKAREA property has the following signature: _NET_WORKAREA, x, y, width, height CARDINAL[][4]/32 So one could be misleaded to think that one should give the _NET_WORKAREA_ to an unsigned 32-bit integer value :-) But according to the xlib manual, the man-page for XChangePropert has the following to say about that: "If the specified format is 8, the property data must be a char array. If the specified format is 16, the property data must be a short array. If the specified format is 32, the property data must be a long array." This means that when setting the _NET_WORKAREA one should use an array of longs, and specify the format as 32. This can (and do in openbox case) cause confusion, since a long on an amd64 box is 64 bits :-) I have created a small patch against the latest openbox code... Should I attach it here or open a new bug-report and attach it there? (In either case i'm going to mail upstream to let them know about the bug, should it could be fixed in later versions of openbox).
I think do a new bug.

In fact, it works now for Fvwm (see my comment #43).
The same for nvu (always ran fine) (nvu-bin:5864): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?) /usr/lib/nvu/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 5864 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Still a problem?
@reporter, what's the status here ?
Ancient versions of both gtk & moz-firefox ;^P Not a problem anymore for me.
Have you tried with newer firefox and gtk versions. Is this bug still valid today? Thanks a lot :-)

Then, Can be this bug closed? Thanks
Fixed according to comment #70.
ok, thanks.
