Since the bug's still open, I did have it reoccur but found the cause and fixed it. I had switched to the mesa libGL.so.1 to build some software*, and firefox 44.0 runs with this, but did crash when I went back to tegra libGL. Long story short, the firefox profile's from my previous portable and had gfx.blacklist.*, webgl.force-neabled and layers.acceleration.force-enabled settings in there, clearing these fixed it. I cleared layers.acceleration.force-enabled last, this was causing it in particular.
about:support indicates hardware accel is off (firefox disables on nvidia driver less than 257.21, and tegra driver shows as nvidia version 21.4). I looked to see if there was any bug report of recent layers- related crashes (new between 43 and 44), but I didn't find anything; presumably it works on supported drivers. * The tegra libGL.so.1 causes dpkg-buildpackage to fail to build any package that uses OpenGL, with an error that there is no dependency info for libGL.so.1, but with mesa libGL.so.1 it builds fine and runs with either libGL. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539284 Title: Firefox 44.0 repeatedly crashes on ARMHF Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: (First off, I did try to use ubuntu-bug, as well as collecting info with apport-cli then submitting with ubuntu-bug. The several automated bug reports I filed just hung up, launchpad claimed it was processing the report and refreshed for over an hour.) Running firefox_43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_armhf is running fine. 44.0+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 repeatedly crashes. I tried removing all my extensions (first in Firefox 44, but it crashed loading the about:addons), then manually (moving them out of extensions directory). No help. I restored my profile from a backup, went to Ubuntu 43.0.4 and uninstalled the extensions there. Upon upgrade to Ubuntu 44.0, it crashes repeatedly with no extensions. One crash did indicate a floating point exception, the rest just inidcated "signal 11". I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.4 for ARMHF on a Acer Chromebook 13. This has a Tegra K1, a quad-core ARM with an Nvidia video card with 192-core CUDA unit (the GK20A is closest in specs to a Geforce GT720 or so.) Let me know if you want more information. Thanks!
