firefox-esr crashed in debian buster #12

Closed utzcoz closed 5 years ago

utzcoz commented 5 years ago

Hi @pdsouza , I have tried upgrade debian to buster, but I found the firefox-esr crashed in it, but firefox works fine in debian buster. Maybe when someone wants to upgrade to buster, he/she should be attention to this problem.

Thanks.

Hi @utzcoz, thanks for the report. Yes there is an issue with the latest firedox-esr on ARM devices. I believe Firefox 60+ has this issue, so you must downgrade to the previous version (52.9.0) until it is fixed upstream in Debian.

Here is a reference to the upstream bug for anyone affected: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909498

I explicitly marked the firefox-esr package as held back to prevent it from accidentally being upgraded when a user runs apt-get upgrade: https://github.com/maruos/blueprints/commit/04f5461efc3c73b8594db67e9258124deef47047

@pdsouza Thanks. I will use your patch to hold on firefox-esr to specific version and close the issue.

Looks like #909498 is still open. Unfortunately, the current builds are breaking because Debian stretch archives no longer have firefox-esr_52.9.0 that was being used as a workaround.

I tested the latest firefox-esr_60.3.0 on arm64 and it works fine - but armhf still crashes. So for armhf we'll need to work around it as suggested in this thread by installing the package from jessie instead.

I'm going to keep this open until this is fixed.

Deployed a workaround for armhf: https://github.com/maruos/blueprints/commit/e8cb47acb321ba30f7acd810ea5eade68f728983
