Firefox Nightly is segfaulting (SIGSEGV) after most recent update; installing firefox-beta fixes it #319

Closed pmarreck closed 11 months ago

pmarreck commented 11 months ago

This just began to happen and I couldn't see any other tickets about it, if this ends up just being a "me thing" then we'll find out soon I guess, so just an FYI! I saw some coredumps in coredumpctl for it, but I'm not familiar enough with gdb to be able to peruse/use them.

I ride on the "unstable" channel.

Installing firefox-beta instead of the overlay does get my sessions back up though (whew! But this also seems to point to an issue with the Nightly build.)

Here is some system info provided by inxi and neofetch:

It's not a you problem, mozilla changed something.

nbp commented 11 months ago

Thanks for opening the issue.

The problem has been reported on matrix, investigated and solved by @K900 :tada: as part of #322 .

The issue was that Firefox changed the way firefox ELF (binary format) is updated at the end of the compilation. Firefox used to rely on a tool named elfhack which recently got replaced by relrhack. This change highlighted an issue in how Nixpkgs handles pre-compiled binaries.

In Nixpkgs, pre-compiled binaries are unlikely to work as they would not find the proper libraries nor the ELF interpreter. Thus a tool named patchelf is used to update the binary and let it know where the libraries it is loading are supposed to be.

With the analysis from @glandium, patchelf proved to be faulty, and @K900 provided a patch to fix the issue.

In the mean time, the firefox overlay applies this not-yet approved patch of patchelf as part of #322, with the goal of fixing firefox nightly and avoiding these SEGV. This should fix nightly builds after updating nixpkgs-mozilla repository.
