[BUG] Port Authority 1.1.1 crashes on Firefox 94.0.2 (Linux) #19

Closed canihavesomecoffee closed 2 years ago

canihavesomecoffee commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug After upgrading to Firefox 94.0.2, Firefox continues to crash while Port Authority is enabled. Once it's disabled, the problem disappears.

I saw the next message if I wanted to report the issue to Firefox:

MozCrashReason: MOZ_CRASH(IPC message size is too large)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Upgrade to Firefox 94.0.2

Expected behavior No crash of Firefox

Screenshots N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Looking into it now

ACK-J commented 2 years ago

I am unable to reproduce the bug. Would you be able to provide me a little more context such as what other addons do you have installed or the output from the extension debugger in about:debugging -> This Firefox -> Port Authority -> Inspect

So far I have installed a fresh version of firefox 94.0.2 with only Port Authority installed and seeing no issues. image

I tried doing that, but it seems that disabled extensions are not listed in there :(

The moment I enable the extension again, I have about 2-3 seconds before Firefox crashes for me, making debugging not that easy.

I loaded the xpi as a temporary addon, and then I was (quickly) able to screenshot this: image

And that was followed by a crash within a couple of seconds...

I'll try to quickly click inspect on that next...

Wrt other addons: if I start Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all addons it doesn't crash, if I enable Port Authority as single addon, it also crashes, so my guts would say other addons aren't involved.

Edit: Inspecting doesn't work because the crash happens before the tab opens :(

Closing, a reinstall (removing the addons, restarting ff and reinstalling) seems to have fixed the issue.

Don't know why the crashing occurred, but it's fixed for me now...

Glad you got it fixed :)

I have had the same behaviour show up for me yesterday independent of any updates on Firefox 88.0.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. This Firefox version was installed back in May. I cannot tell what triggered the problem. It was resolved after reinstalling Port Authority.

@HifeFish Interesting, this is the first report of this issue not on 94.0.2 I'll keep looking into it but debugging is especially hard since I can't reproduce the issue myself

HifeFish commented 2 years ago

Since it is no longer happening after reinstalling, I cannot run any tests, but this is the output during the crash when I ran firefox from the terminal:

[GFX1-]: glxtest: libEGL missing eglGetDisplayDriverName 
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 25398 
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child

The same error (channel error) was something I saw too.

I have still yet to figure out what the underlying issue is :/
