Description Giovanni Mariani 2023-04-28 16:24:43 MSK

Since the latest upgrade to 112.0.2 (today) Firefox is broken on my 2023.1 Plasma VM: when trying to start, it crashes and coredumps...

Trying to do it in a konsole prints the following messages:

Erasing the existing profile before launching firefox does not change the result.
Version 111.0.1 of the package is working properly for me.

Hi, may be this link helps get more info (ex. vainfo)

Vainfo output:
*****************
libva info: VA-API version 1.14.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/vmwgfx_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
*****************

Evidently firefox cannot find the right driver (vmwgfx_drv_video.so does not exist at all AFAICT)...

But then why did work seamlessly the version installed before the last update?
Nothing changed in my vmware VM setup but the firefox package (even the firefox profile was the default one initially, no custom settings at all) and in the release notes for version 112.0.2 I did not find a clue about what changed from 112.0/112.0.1 to 112.0.2.

Perhaps wayland-related?

Install the lib64dri-drivers-vmwgfx package.Only I think it will not save because the 2023 branch is not stable.

Comment 4 Mikhail Novosyolov 2023-05-02 15:10:52 MSK

What does dmesg show about the crash?

Comment 5 Giovanni Mariani 2023-05-02 20:30:20 MSK

Dmesg output after firefox crash

Comment 6 Giovanni Mariani 2023-05-02 20:33:05 MSK

Created attachment 5883 [details]
Coredumpctl info about firefox core dump

In dmesg output I cannot see a thing evidently related to the vaapi error.
I have on disk the actual core dump (14 Mb), if needed.

The package is already installed: without it there is no real graphics support in the VM...

Comment 8 Mikhail Novosyolov 2023-05-03 16:48:10 MSK

We with Svyatoslav had a look at the backtrace (Svyatoslav reproduced the crash himself) and saw that it crashes somewhere internally in Firefox in code that handles CSS. That is very strange. I don't have ideas where the difference with rosa2021.1 may be.

Same thing here... perhaps trying to diff the two codebases related to CSS could give more clues?

BTW, on 2021.1 the 112.0.2 release has this output in konsole:

With the latest 115.0.2 now it works... closing.
