Firefox 45.1 behaves differently than Firefox-bin-45.1

[eccerr0r]

Yeah both are unstable so I guess it's to be expected...

Just wondering if anyone has seen Firefox 45.1 when compiled from source starts up with a black screen... and overall very slow and sketchy. When using Firefox-bin 45.1, it works perfectly fine.

I am using fglrx and xfce4 on this particular system, but unsure if they have something to do with the issue.

I do get a warning EGLImageTargetRenderbufferStorageOES as a missing symbol when running the compiled-from-source version.

Any ideas what's going on here?

I had Firefox compiled from source, and at compile time it gave me error 9 (swap memory low)... i recompiled it out of Kde GUI and with tmpfs line in fstab file (for extend memory), so i was able to compile it... but it was not working well. It had some problems.
Then i compiled Firefox-bin, and it works very fine.

Maybe, might it be a memory problem?

I'd bet it is just a use flag difference.

But don't ask me which flags. I really wouldn't know how frefox-bin is built.

Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box.

Is probably the hardware acceleration (with the fglrx video driver).
Try in firefox --> about:preferences#advanced
and disable the hardware acceleration by default
or build firefox with USE=-hwaccel

I was thinking that, perhaps the binary from mozilla.org has it compiled off? I think both are accessing the same .mozilla/firefox/... config directories and unless the binary is hardcoded off, both versions would have the same setting?

Alas it looks like it is indeed a workaround. Thanks.
