Description:

while browsing around firefox crashes. here is the backtrace:

[Thread 0x7fffb83ff700 (LWP 1916) exited]
process 1822: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "destination == NULL || _dbus_check_is_valid_bus_name (destination)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1203.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

can you recompile firefox with debug along with gtk2 and at-spi2-atk?

note, that you need to modify mozconfig and drop --disable-debug and add !strip in options PKGBUILD

I've just had a similar assert using epiphany. Thus, this may be somehow related with flashplugin, it's common for both firefox and epiphany.

Still occurs on my machine with firefox-10.0.2-1. The error is difficult to find for me, and triggers primarily upon new page requests. I used stumbleupon to make trying to trigger this easier/more bearable. The last stumble was going to be a video, so it is possible that sakhnik is spot on that it is flashplugin.

i'm still waiting for a problem gdb trace
Comment by majiq (majiq) - Thursday, 01 March 2012, 20:52 GMT
I've been trying. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136734 .

From output with the PKGBUILD and mozconfig posted in the thread. crashlog1 is what was put in stdout, crashlog2 was from gdb, which is still utterly useless.

Edit: I originally said the last two lines were interesting. I take that back. Instead, I think that it crashes after trying to bring up the flash plugin.
   crashlog1 (2.1 KiB)
   crashlog2 (24.7 KiB)

I'm getting the same problem here with Firefox 11.0-2 and Flashplugin-beta 11.2.202.221-1.

I'd say I started to notice it about 2 or 3 weeks ago, so I had to start running Firefox from a terminal to get any kind of error message, which led me here. Seems to trigger when I'm browsing around Youtube (loading a new page). Previously Firefox was rock solid stable.

Any addons installed? And tried a new profile?

Does this still happen with latest firefox?
