 Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 9:42 pm Post subject: Firefox and Thunderbird crashes [workaround] |
 |
|
Firefox and Thunderbird suddenly will crash seconds after starting, or if I click in a webpage, or if I move the mouse wheel. Sample error console output: | Code: | firefox -jsconsole
(gecko:13429): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Nimbus Mono L 9'
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 13429 Segmentation fault $(type -P aoss) "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)
|
[EDIT]: Fixed!  Followed This topic on x.org fonts and, following a | Code: | | cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log | grep WW |
, removed all missing/defective directories in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf FontPath.
[EDIT 2]: Not fixed!  http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/start.html kills firefox as soon as I scroll the page.

I am now using Opera, because as I received the email from the forums reporting the above reply, thunderbird crashed when I clicked the link, and so did firefox when I opened the email through my webmail. W00t?

Moved ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla.off, removed thunderbird's addons, the crashes persisted. 
Worse off, I realise the font problem is not what is causing the crashes, as it appeared in the mozilla's error console without crashing firefox.

OK, something to work with. The binary packages for thunderbird and firefox do not crash. Maybe that's gentoo bugreport-worthy?

I've received no feedback in Gentoo Bugzilla, but I found that with USE="moznopango", mozilla apps stop crashing. That is obviously some issue between pango and mozilla, but seems that no one cares, so I'll leave it there.
