Hi Johan,

no, I did not, because

1) my message was different then that one in UPDATING

2) it crahses on startup, not while viewing a HTML5 document (as mentioned in UPDATING)


Should I try sem_load="YES" also for that Problem?


Yes, after the install/update start firefox the FF3.5 welcome site with
a html5 video, so it's crash with a video.

does not work:

[x] /boot/loader.conf: sem_load="YES"
[x] reboot

$ firefox3
Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 986 in file
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 2)
Abort trap (core dumped)

Seems to be another problem then mentioned in UPDATE.

Any Ideas? Is somewone working on it?

It looks like firefox35 or somewhere has missed to compile with -pthread.

What can I Do?

Upgrade to FreeBSD 7.x or above. I am not kidding. FreeBSD 7.x and above are heck a lot better than 6.x. Those don't have any problem, which FreeBSD 6.x has some bugs or missing feature that force some stuff to compile with -pthread when it's not need.

Cheers,
Mezz

Heino
