Do you use some extension? I have to disable the NoScript extension here on one of my systems or it will crash all time.
Comment by indianahorst (indianahorst) - Tuesday, 10 December 2013, 16:45 GMT
Have you read my text? First sentence:
Firefox (without any addons and with all plugins deactivated) (...)

I have tried it with addons and without addons (and plugins), it doesn't make a difference, Firefox continues crashing after a few seconds on this page.
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Tuesday, 10 December 2013, 18:55 GMT
Sry for mistake.

BTW: my crash is fixed with FF 26 in testing.
Comment by indianahorst (indianahorst) - Tuesday, 10 December 2013, 23:35 GMT
I'm sorry, but I can't agree. Today I updated to FF 26 and it still segfaults on this site ("testing" is a profile without addons and with all plugins inactive):

$ firefox -P testing

Try to get a backtrace, your debug messages indicate nvidia drivers, so this could be a driver or plugin issue.
Comment by Kevin (anonymous_user) - Wednesday, 11 December 2013, 18:29 GMT
Does the crash occur with the build from Mozilla too?

@ Kevin
Which program package from the Archlinux Repositories do you mean?
Comment by Kevin (anonymous_user) - Wednesday, 11 December 2013, 19:31 GMT
I mean if you download the tarball build from the Mozilla website:

Comment by patrick (potomac) - Wednesday, 11 December 2013, 22:06 GMT
no problems for me with firefox 26 and a radeon 4650 pcie graphic card ( radeon driver open source )

maybe it's a graphic driver problem, for those who have this bug : try to disable Hardware Acceleration feature in firefox options
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Thursday, 12 December 2013, 08:55 GMT
Your backtrace indicates a segfault in libnvidia-glcore.so, which is part of the binary nvidia drivers. Typing "bt" in gdb after the crash would be nice to get a better overview of which path is called.
Probably there's nothing we or mozilla devs can fix here, as a binary module is involved.

Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Thursday, 12 December 2013, 11:32 GMT
Maybe you can get more information by compiling firefox with debug information, but so far this looks like a bug in the nvidia drivers. Please report this at nvidia, we can't fix this.
Comment by Linus Ljung (Lurq) - Sunday, 15 December 2013, 00:17 GMT
I have the same problem since firefox 26.0-2. But it's, for me, very hard to reproduce. I will do some testing when there is time.

I tried with official build from Mozilla, works without problem without crashes
Comment by Jouke Witteveen (jouke) - Sunday, 15 December 2013, 21:50 GMT
Rebuilding the package (which took an hour!) seems to solve the problem here.

I did need to add the following line to the build() function in the PKGBUILD:
export SHELL="/usr/bin/bash"

At the end of the build process, there was a warning:
==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir
Comment by F. Kiersch (Mortes) - Monday, 16 December 2013, 14:45 GMT
Just want to add that for some reason, for me Firefox runs just fine when I start it from the terminal. Otherwise it will crash on some random resources like PDFs or gifs.

Edit: added Firefox gdb output with backtrace. I don't see anything NVIDIA related in there. There's btw. another user reporting the same issue with an Intel graphics card:

Comment by Pantelis Panayiotou (plp) - Monday, 16 December 2013, 21:06 GMT
Mortes: The exact same thing seems to be happening with me.

More details:
- Firefox crashes randomly, but more often when opening PDFs
- The problem seems to go away when running from inside a terminal
- Downgrading to 26.0-1 appears to solve the problem
Comment by Anael (nanawel) - Monday, 16 December 2013, 21:50 GMT
Running Firefox 26.0-2 and crashing randomly, not necessarily with PDFs, but it doesn't seem to happen when running from a terminal.
Comment by Reed Lipman (rlipman) - Tuesday, 17 December 2013, 06:00 GMT
I see segfaults with things like opening the file dialog, or from the basic auth dialog. My backtrace isn't nvidia related either.

Same issue here.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff590f20d in ?? () from /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so

Crashes with a profile with extensions and inactive plugins
Crashes with a profile with no extension and inactive plugins (and even disabled HW acceleration)
Seems ok in "pure" safe-mode

I agree with rlipman : dialog openings (especially auth) seems to lead to more segfaults than regular browsing.

Running from a terminal seemed to correct the problem yesterday, but today it's a mess too...
Comment by J. Dulac (JD) - Thursday, 19 December 2013, 15:41 GMT
Additional information : crashes also in "pure" safe-mode with internal PDF viewer...
Comment by Tomi Leppänen (Tomin) - Thursday, 19 December 2013, 17:17 GMT
Crashes very often on my laptop too. I've got Nvidia Quadro NVS140 graphics.
$ LANGUAGE=C pacman -Qi firefox nvidia |grep -i version
Version : 26.0-2
Version : 331.20-2
$
gdb stuff (I don't know if it's useful): http://pastebin.com/Xvm9RRHA

PDF viewer seems to always crash even in safe-mode. For example this pdf causes a crash for me: http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/LPC11U3X.pdf

I reset my Firefox and it didn't help a thing, so now I'm hunting all my addons back.
Comment by JD (lightheat) - Friday, 20 December 2013, 07:23 GMT
It had been crashing for me, too. Same exact chip (NVS 140) and versions for both firefox and the nvidia driver as commenter above me. I tried disabling hardware acceleration which seems to have fixed it for now. Running firefox from terminal outputs a long repeating string of

OpenGL version detected: 330
OpenGL version detected: 330
...
OpenGL version detected: 330

so long as the page in the original report (MTV.de) is open, but it will not crash.

This does seem to be an issue between firefox and nvidia. I'll keep playing around and see if I can get it to segfault again.
Comment by J. Dulac (JD) - Friday, 20 December 2013, 08:26 GMT
nvidia too here, with same versions, but different chip (Quadro FX 580 - chip is G96).
As mentioned above, it still crashes with hw acceleration disabled :/

I guess it's related !

Comment by J. Dulac (JD) - Friday, 20 December 2013, 08:55 GMT
Downgrading nvidia drivers version through nvidia-304xx packages solved the issue (I had to use --force with pacman), but downgrading is not a real solution, in my opinion...
Comment by Tomi Leppänen (Tomin) - Friday, 20 December 2013, 10:38 GMT
I've deselected "Use hardware acceleration when available" and "Use smooth scrolling" from Preferences but that didn't help. I also set true to webgl.disabled but it still crashes sometimes. The pdf I mentioned crashes Firefox always. I wonder if there is somewhere another option that I need to change to stop this crashing.

Waiting for a fix.
Comment by Hermann Zahnweh (eigengrau) - Friday, 20 December 2013, 11:11 GMT
Tinkering with Firefox won't really help much. It's a driver issue and for most of us it's probably not restricted to Firefox. Though Firefox would certainly be the most noticeable manifestation. The other issues include processes zombifying, and Mono applications not starting up at all (as with Firefox, this is somewhat alleviated by starting from a terminal window).

For the Mono issues, there's a separate Task at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38010 , but in all likelihood this is the same bug.

The driver issues are "tracked" (discussed, rather) upstream at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/633706/linux/recent-drivers-cause-applications-to-hang-not-start-at-all-or-compilation-failures/

Another user was so kind to provide PKGBUILDs for the old version of the driver in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=173024
Comment by JD (lightheat) - Saturday, 21 December 2013, 01:59 GMT
Follow-up: yep, still crashed, same report of segfault, even with HW accel disabled. Will try rolling back nvidia to previous version. ^Thanks for the link, and to that user for the PKGBUILD.
Comment by Pantelis Panayiotou (plp) - Saturday, 21 December 2013, 09:00 GMT
Here are the differences between firefox 26.0-2 and 26.0-1:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/firefox&id=913909a50e329a03ffec0f6ac4b434a065fb8814

The most important change is that 26.0-2 is linked against a lot more system libraries (as opposed to built-in code provided by Mozilla). In particular, the following lines got added to mozconfig:

+ac_add_options --with-system-nspr
+ac_add_options --with-system-nss
+ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
+ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
+ac_add_options --with-system-bz2
+ac_add_options --with-system-png
+ac_add_options --with-system-libevent
+ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx
+ac_add_options --enable-system-hunspell
+ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite
+ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi
+#ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo

Perhaps someone could remove these, re-build the package, and see if Firefox still crashes?

(I plan to do this myself, of course, but I'm in a hurry right now.)

UPDATE: I just verified it's an nvidia issue myself. So, I also think tinkering with Firefox is not really a solution. I-ll be using nvidia-304xx until this is resolved upstream.
Comment by revel (revel) - Saturday, 21 December 2013, 14:51 GMT
Recently my firefox started crashing too. Having read the suggestions above, I rebuilded the package [from ABS] myself [no tinkering] and crashes got even worse. So next went nvidia packages: nvidia and nvidia-utils [splits into 3 packages]. Got them rebuilded [again ABS, no tinkering, no downgrading], reinstalled and then rebooted to make sure everything's fully reloaded. And viola, the crashes went away! Not sure if the problem is really solved or it just stopped manifesting, but for now it surely is good enough for me. For reference, I'm on x86-64.
Comment by Pantelis Panayiotou (plp) - Sunday, 22 December 2013, 19:33 GMT
revel: I tried what you suggested, and it does make Firefox a bit more stable. Mono applications still won't start, though.
Comment by revel (revel) - Sunday, 22 December 2013, 20:17 GMT
I compared my /etc/makepkg.conf to the default one and I have '-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' added at the end of both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Default makepkg have this only in CPPFLAGS and I can remember making above change some time ago. If this really makes difference here, then clearly there is some buffer overflow problem in recent nvidia packages and it got 'autofixed' or masked well enough to stop crashes for me.
Comment by F. Goovaerts (MajorMonodon) - Tuesday, 24 December 2013, 14:12 GMT
I have also been troubled by this occurence the last week, switching to nouveau drivers instead of the nvidia ones until this is fixed helped for me, so it is indeed a driver problem.

This should be changed to a problem with Nvidia packages, not firefox, and merged with the mono bug, seeing as that is probably from the same source (as far as I have deduced from reading forum posts about this topic).
Comment by Bruno Guerreiro (American_Jesus) - Tuesday, 24 December 2013, 15:27 GMT
same here, i changed my gpu to an AMD/ATI and the problem no longer persists. probably a nvidia driver problem
Comment by F. Goovaerts (MajorMonodon) - Wednesday, 25 December 2013, 15:37 GMT
After updating today, the problem seems to have been resolved. Anyone else?
Comment by Tomi Leppänen (Tomin) - Friday, 27 December 2013, 16:24 GMT
Still crashing on my Firefox profile, but I haven't yet had a crash in safe mode. Still testing.
$ LANGUAGE=C pacman -Qi firefox nvidia |grep -i version
Version : 26.0-2
Version : 331.20-3

As this is a Nvidia driver problem, are Nvidia's developers aware of this?
Comment by Tomi Leppänen (Tomin) - Friday, 27 December 2013, 16:26 GMT
Ok, crashed in safe mode too when tried to (rapidly) browse the pdf I mentioned earlier.
Comment by Sergio (whizzo) - Friday, 27 December 2013, 18:07 GMT
Same crashings here
Comment by Ameer (ameer) - Saturday, 28 December 2013, 13:11 GMT
I think the best solution right now is to switch to the open source driver for NVIDIA, nouveau. That worked for me. And maybe wait until NVIDIA solve this bug in the official driver.
Comment by Sergio (whizzo) - Sunday, 29 December 2013, 14:49 GMT
I think is the same problem with:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/633706/linux/recent-drivers-cause-applications-to-hang-not-start-at-all-or-compilation-failures/

In the last comment (12/26/2013) they said: "Issue no longer reproduce with our latest driver that will be available soon."
I hope this work.
Comment by Romain Riviere (Le_Coyote) - Thursday, 09 January 2014, 12:42 GMT
I do confirm that rebuilding nvidia and nvidia-utils with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is enough to make the problem go away. Thanks revel for the tip!

Edit: added a link to this bug report over at Mozilla's: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=950397
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Thursday, 09 January 2014, 16:05 GMT
Ehm, -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is the default in our distribution, so how can this possibly fix the bug?

Are you guys all running custom compiles without default CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS?
Comment by J. Dulac (JD) - Thursday, 09 January 2014, 16:18 GMT
I use the official package from official repository mirror.
Comment by revel (revel) - Thursday, 09 January 2014, 16:59 GMT
My story [mentioned above] of altering makepkg.conf as far as I can remember looked like this:
- noticed -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 was sometimes missing during build process despite being in CPPFLAGS
- googled around and learned that indeed CPPFLAGS can sometimes be ignored altogether
- concluded that some build tools on linux are probably flawed in this regard [it's quite a mess isn't it?]
- decided that it's better to alter CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS and sleep well

Just to clarify, what I did was switch from the binary packages available in the repos to packages built from ABS. On 2 separate machines, this fixed the issue. The rest of the distribution is straight out of the box, and up to date as of yesterday.

Regarding -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, it was set in CPPFLAGS alone on 1 machine, while it was defined in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS on the other. Building nvidia stuff with only the CPPFLAGS was not enough for the former, so I modified makepkg.conf to match that of the latter, ie. follow revel's advice. Voilà :-)

I have to amend the previous statement. The bug still exists. It occurs much less often, but it's still there. It seems that restoring a session with a few pinned and unpinned tabs, that are opened simultaneously on start-up, is quite likely to demonstrate the issue. It is still random though.

Is this still an issue with nvidia 331.38?

I just upgraded to nvidia 331.38-1 and Firefox seems a lot more stable indeed. I'll give it a go on the other system and report back.

[Edit] Just had 2 crashes. They didn't occur at startup but a little later. I'll have to test some more.

The issue seems fixed for me since the update to the current NVIDIA driver (nvidia 331.38-1). I didn't have a single browser crash for about a week of daily usage. Anyone still having issues?

Nope, should be good to close. It's been a fair time now, and since 331.38 also resolved the problems with Mono applications, it seems that this time it's really fixed.

Works for me as well.

Looks fixed here too, I couldn't reproduce the crashes.
