Firefox 3.6 and HTML5
Certain functions used to display HTML5 elements need the sem module.
If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a
HTML5 page:
"Bad system call (core dumped)"
you need to load the sem module (kldload sem).
To load sem on every boot put the following into your
/boot/loader.conf:
sem_load="YES"

Today, I upgraded Firefox 3.5.7 (built yesterday) to
Firefox 3.6. After
deleting ~/.mozilla (after I did a buckup, of course), I
tried a fresh
start of 'firefox3'. After firefox showed up, I realized
that no
option-field (File, Extras etc) can be used, they are dead
and after a
few seconds I clicked them, firefox3 is crashing.
Since I recompiled firefox 3.5.7 yesterday I was wondering
if this is
due to some 'false' lib or dependency. Since I figured
that I have
similar trouble with Thunderbird 3.0.1 after I installed
it, I suspect a
faulty library causing this behaviour. With Thunderbird 3,
I never
solved the problem although I tried to rebuild everything with
thunderbird via 'portmaster -f'. I'll did this with
firefox 3.6 also,
but with no success.
The crashing is observed on two nearly identical SMP
FreeBSD 8.0/amd64
STABLE boxes (make world of today), up-to-date ports. The
crash is NOT
observed on my private oldish UP box, nearly the same
setup, OS at the
same revision and ports up to date as of yesterday. Maybe
this could be
a hint.
Any hints or suggestions?
Try doing "ldd /usr/local/lib/firefox3/firefox-bin" and see if
anything
looks weird.
I did - and there is nothing weird.
I checked the installed libraries and they are all rebuild when
rebuilding necessary dependencies for firefox3.
You can porbably ignore
/usr/local/lib/firefox3/firefox-bin:
libxul.so => not found (0x0)
libmozjs.so => not found (0x0)
libxpcom.so => not found (0x0)
because run-mozilla.sh sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
/usr/local/lib/firefox3 where these libraries are installed.
I merely deleted my old firefox 3.6 and reinstalled from the
port (on
9-CURRENT AMD64) and haven't seen any problems. But of
course, I've
been running various incarnations of 3.6 for a while and may
have gotten
all the dependencies already correctly installed.

I tried again, left the 'make config'-options as they were set by
default, delete/backuped .mozilla in my home and they restartet
firefox3. Nothing better than previously seen. Try hitting Button
'Tools' at the top menu bar gives a menu after several seconds,
then firefox crashes/core dumps.

SysV smaphore (or sem?) are built into my kernel by default. The
error/system message when crashing is
socket(): Protocol not supported
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
and a core is dumped.
It is funny, as long as I do not drop down any menus, this crappy
Firefox 3.6 on my box runs for several seconds, then crahses unmotivated
- no matter whether .mozilla has been brand new or containing the old
stuff from 3.5.7. Whenever I drop down a menu, the dead comes fast.
