Bug 31442

 $ rpm -q firefox
firefox-102.7.0-1.mga9
 $ firefox
ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.
Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.jsm
Missing chrome or resource URL: resource://gre/modules/UpdateListener.sys.mjs

but it does NOT crash; and works. But I see there are updates due including kernel. Will re-try after that, but not report back if nothing changes.

Have to leave this to others to help sort out.

Worked fine on my AMD.  So guessing related to the Nvidia proprietary driver.

I also have firefox crashing since Saturday (I update my cauldron on a daily basis).
I tried:
 - the rpm packaged one: same error than the opener

 - the vanilla version from mozilla.org: a slightly different error

My hardware is also a NVidia wit proprietary driver:
 Hardware: nvidia Quadro k2200
 driver: dkms-nvidia-current-525.85.05-1.mga9.nonfree

I've also tried using --safe-mode or with a brand new user and have the same crash

does it help to downgrade nvidia-current to the older driver: 525.78.01

http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/people/tmb/Cauldron/bugs/31442/

No, the problem persist with this version 525.78.01 of nvidia driver.

Note - changing from nvidia proprietary to nouveau driver allows firefox to function.   I suspect graphics card performance is hobbled, but it is working.

Confirmed firefox segfaults my laptop using Mageia prime with nvidia current.

After installing all of the packages in comment 4 using "urpmi --downgrade *.rpm"
which required enabling the 32 bit repos, firefox is working (without
rebooting, so it hasn't switched drivers).

Running firefox under strace shows the libmesaegl1 package is the only 32 bit
package being used.

Restoring the nvidia drivers to current as it doesn't seem to be the drivers
and then retesting firefox shows it's continuing to work.

So it seems firefox on nvidia requires the 32 bit libmesaegl1 package though
other 32 bit libraries ended up being installed too.

This bug is a release blocker for Mageia 9 beta1.

Priority: Normal => release_blocker

Not so simple. Immediately after downgrading the packages, but before rebooting,
firefox was working. Restoring the packages to current, firefox continued to
work. Rebooting, firefox segfaults again.

Even stranger. Downgraded again, rebooted. Firefox segfaults. Installed current
packages ...

And firefox is working again. The 32 bit libs pulled in previously are still
installed.

Rebooted, and firefox continues working. I'm lost. :-(

Exiting firefox, and restarting it with no other changes and it's segfaulting
again.

The workaround from the dev ml
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE='kms_swrast' firefox
works.

Does that help pinpoint and fix the problem?

With today's mesa update firefox is working on my laptop. No workaround
required.

I'd like confirmation from others before closing this bug report.

Confirmed I'm using nvidia driver:

# lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_uvm           1347584  0
nvidia_drm             73728  36
drm_kms_helper        208896  1 nvidia_drm
nvidia_modeset       1216512  73 nvidia_drm
video                  65536  1 nvidia_modeset
nvidia              56393728  3605 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset
drm                   696320  40 drm_kms_helper,nvidia,nvidia_drm


Started firefox twice and browsing.

Seems to be working properly now.

I also confirm that firefox works fine after updating mesa packages.

Thank you

Thanks Dave, Brian and Stéphane.

Closing :-)
