bug in Firefox 3.6.4 pbi?

[gwood]

I installed the Firefox 3.6.4 pbi, and when I run firefox I get the pcbsd crash handler
I am running pcbsd 8.0:
[gwood@pcbsd ~]$ uname -a
FreeBSD pcbsd 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #4: Thu Jan 7 09:20:42 PST 2010 root@build8x32.pcbsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/pcbsd-build80/fbsd-source/8.0-src/sys/PCBSD i386


The content of the crash handler changes if I start firefox in safe mode, but it still crashes. here are the saved crashhandler files from 3 runs:


[gwood@pcbsd ~]$ cat firefox-3.6.4.err
Output logged from stdout

Can you check .mozilla/plugins for a libmoon* file? If you remove that file does Firefox work?

[gwood]

don't see any libmoon stuff in .mozilla, but there is some in /Programs/Firefox3.6.4:

[gwood@pcbsd ~]ls .mozilla/plugins
npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[gwood@pcbsd ~]$
[gwood@pcbsd ~]$ find /Programs/Firefox3.6.4/ | grep -i libmoon
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/libmoon.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/libmoon.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/libmoon.so.0
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonloader.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonloader.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19/libmoonloader.so

/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so

should I remove all of these libmoon thingies?

by the way, is it normal for a pbi Program to include the version number like

/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/

or does that indicate a bad install?

BTW, I don't recall installing any plugins with 'moon' in their names, either this time or in previous firefox installations in pcbsd or otherwise.

[kmoore134]

The libmoon plugin is included with the PBI, and it provides support for SilverLight 1.x stuff. I'm guessing its incompatiable with firefox 3.5.4 for some reason. I'll have to get a build of it soon without the plugin for testing. I'll let you know when its ready

[gwood]

Kris;

Thank you thank you!

George

[gwood]

in the meanwhile, do you think it is safe to just remove all the libmoon stuff,
namely:

/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/libmoon.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/libmoon.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/libmoon.so.0
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonloader.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonloader.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin.la
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/moonlight/plugin/libmoonplugin.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19/libmoonloader.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19/libmoonplugin.so
/Programs/Firefox3.6.4/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19/libmoonplugin-ff3bridge.so

Don't delete them, rename them.

[kmoore134]

Go ahead and remove those files and see if it fixes the issue, it can't
make it any more broken anyway

I should have the PBI made without them in the next couple of days,
we're doing some maintenance on our build servers right now.

with a fresh reinstall of firefox 3.6.4 I moved the silverlight foo (details below) before staring Firefox. it worked, with two error messages which seemed harmless:

[gwood@pcbsd /Programs/Firefox3.6.4]$ kdeinit4: preparing to launch /Programs/bin/firefox3.sh
:1: error: unexpected character `\22', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
:1: error: unexpected character `\22', expected keyword - e.g. `style'

these messages suggest that there is a control-R (octal 22) in a config file but I couldn't find it.

Here are the moonlight files I moved, and how I did it.

[gwood@pcbsd /Programs/Firefox3.6.4]$  for i in ./lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19/libmoon* ; do sudo mv -v $i $i-BAD; done

Bottom line; firefox 3.6.4 pbi works (pcbsd 8.0) after moving the moonlight plugin foo.
