 Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 4:13 pm Post subject: ColorZilla 0.8.3.1 makes Firefox 1.5.x segfault at startup? |
 |
|
Hi,
My Firefox segfaults at startup, when ColorZilla 0.8.3.1 is activated and extensions are installed/updated... I use the source version, and there is no such problem with the precompiled version, so I was wondering where should I open a bug report, if needed... (Gentoo, Mozilla or ColorZilla dev?)
Here is the complete report:
Using:
- mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1-r1
- mozilla-launcher-1.45
Steps to reproduce:
(Same with directly downloading ColorZilla 0.8.3.1 from its official website: http://www.iosart.com/firefox/colorzilla/ColorZilla_0.8.3.1.xpi)
Result and notes:
| Code: | $ firefox
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 18365 Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139) |
Note that it only segfaults the first time... (Firefox starts with no error, the second -and next- time(s) I try to execute it).
However, if I then install an extension like Adblock Plus 0.6.1.1, when I restart Firefox, it will segfault two times in a row, like before... (again, after this, it does not segfault anymore). It could be just a little annoyance, when installing/updating extensions, but the problem is the Adblock Plus extension will not work... The icon in the status bar is grayed out and a tooltip says: "Adblock Plus component couldn't be loaded, maybe it didn't install properly"... (but even when using a clean profile, with only ColorZilla 0.8.3.1 and Adblock, the problem appears).
(Note a similar problem happens with the original Adblock... when I want to list the blockable items, it says "Adblock is not yet enabled: Make sure the browser is located on a write-accessible disk. ... Then, quit and re-launcher. The missing Component will be installed, at startup" (nonsence, in this case). I guess other extensions are affected too).
About ColorZilla, the Eyedropper (which determine the color under the mouse cursor) does not work. It says "Installation problem or the Eyedropper mode isn't supported on your platform. [...]".
If, after all this, I just disable the ColorZilla extension and restart Firefox, Adblock works perfectly (and it is strictly reproducible... when I re-enable the ColorZilla extension, the very same happen, with the initial segfault and the problem with Adblock...). No problem either with ColorZilla 0.8.2 (well, the Eyedropper does not work, but this version wasn't totally compatible with Firefox 1.5, as I understand...).
I reported the problem to the ColorZilla dev, which was not aware of any problem like this. I then tested with mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.1 (the precompiled version), and everything works perfectly, with no error... (including the Colorzilla Eyedropper, as the compatibility problems with Firefox 1.5 have been resolved).
Where does the source of the problem lie? Should I fill a bug about the mozilla-firefox-1.5.x ebuild (as there is no problem with the precompiled version)? or should I fill it on the Mozilla bugzilla? (is there major differencies between the source avec the precompiled versions, which could cause such problems with extensions?)
Can anyone reproduce the problem or does it come from my own configuration?

mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1 was compiled with the following USE flags: "-debug -gnome +ipv6 +java +mozdevelop -xinerama +xprint", and I am revdep-rebuild ok. Will USE="+debug" give a more detailled error message, in this case?
Thanx in advance. |

I've seen these issues as well. Colorzilla was working fine for awhile but I can no longer get they eyedropper (the only function I use) to work, I get the same error message.
I have also noticed firefox not starting the first couple times I try to launch, but haven't done the specific research you have. |

| I have the same issue, and I'm impressed to know that it works with mozilla-firefox-bin. Maybe it's because of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS I've used... But I'll check around. |

It does indeed work perfectly with the binary version, though.
I just give up, I don't want both versions (which conflict with each other, notably), and some packages require the source version, so I'll just use screenshots and Gimp, to do the job... |

|

i got the same problem here, but i'm pretty certain it has nothing to to with (my) CFLAGS | Code: | | CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" |
but with some other libraries (still searching), because the error happened just after updating beryl and dependent libs (and no firefox-update).
i'm emerging cairo, pango and gtk+ right now, maybe firefox later, and we'll see.
also i don't have colorzilla installed AND the window-decorator does not work correctly on the ffox-(bin)-window (all buttons except close and set above are missing), that's why i think it must have sth to do with beryl and its libs.

| I've just detected this same problem with colorzilla and found this post. Has there been any workaround? |

i solved the problem a little while later, but - i'm very sorry - it's been so long ago that i cannot remember how exactly. i only know it's got nothig to do with colorzilla, since it was never installed on that machine.
i can only - very vaguely - remember that it had sth. to do with X- and/or gtk-libs.
at least u know it will work :wink:
