Firefox crashes on latest "dup" in TW
Firefox 114.0.1 works fine for me with current TW20230613, but others experience crashes at startup: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212101

Folks:
Was it on this list that somebody posted that their firefox crashed after recent update?? I think it was . . . well the behavior duplicated in my Gecko rolling edition of TW this am. Tried rebooting and tried shutting down and back into FF, but still get the error crash report . . . "report this crash to the authorities" and so forth.
Over in Debian Bookworm right now, prior to updating, and FF is working fine.

Yes, I posted here and added some info in bugzilla report.
A workaround is to download the tar.bgz firefox from the official page, extract the file and launch firefox from than folder. You will have firefox with your config, your addons, etc...
Hope the fix come soon!! :)
Victor: Yes, let's us "hope and pray" that a fix comes soon . . . . Fortunately I have other options, tomorrow, back in Debian and I'll see if upgrading pulls in a new FF and how that fares, and then Sunday on to Lubuntu Mantic . . . and Monday into straight TW . . . so we'll see how the dup goes with that one, and maybe by next Friday when I'm back to the broken down FF partition it will be fixed?? If not, then I might look at the manual DL . . . ?? F
Following up . . . I'm running Pop!_OS on a Sys76 laptop and I ran an apt full-upgrade yesterday and I saw a number of "firefox" packages that were upgraded . . . . Typing this in FF, so that might mean "problem is exclusive to OpenSUSE iterations"???

Hope that the fix comes soon. Totaly unexpected for Tumbleweed having an unsolved problem for so long. On 6/17/23 02:31, Fritz Hudnut wrote:

Please do not top post. You need to ask yourself what is unique to your system. I have 3 TW systems that run Firefox perfectly with the latest updates. They are an AMD FX-8320E Eight-Core Processor, an Intel 4th generation mobile i7 *i7-4700M), and an 8th generation Intel i7-8700T. None of them are particularly new. In particular, you should check if you have an Intel CPU from generation 11 or higher. These have the IBT feature that is not properly handled for all applications. It seems unlikely that this is the problem for Firefox, but if your CPU fits the criterion, then try booting the system with "ibt=off" added to the GRUB startup line. There may be some other "feature" of these CPUs that is not handled in the "lockdown" kernels. Larry

Sorry for the top-posting. Just had a fresh look at my system and think I do not fall in the catogory of the problems you mentioned. I am a long time user of Tumbleweed and this is a first time that I have a big problem. My system is said to be; 4x AMD Phenom(tm) II x4 953 Processor. Graphics processor AMD Juniper. Where can I find the Mozilla Firefox original? Would try out that way to solve the crash problem.
Just download the package here and everything will be ok. The fix is already submitted to Factory https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_6... Cheers Fridrich On 20/06/2023 11:27, Constant Brouerius van Nidek wrote:
