Bug 220027: www/firefox: crashes on latest head due to jemalloc update
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220027



--- Description ---
jemalloc is updated in base to 5.0 on Jun 15. The result is that firefox
crashes minutes after startup, or crashes when doing a measurement in
about:memory.
The error is:

<jemalloc>: jemalloc_ctl.c:1212: Failed assertion: "node->nchildren > 0"

The reason is that malloc ctl stats.arenas.0.metadata.allocated is renamed to
stats.arenas.0.internal (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/a0dd3a4483e2e72ee80e70424a6522f873f
2c7ff
and
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/751f2c332d91209c5ae3234fa444a208500
67960),
while firefox is still checking the old malloc ctl without checking the return
value of mallctlnametomib.

One temporary fix is modifying firefox binary and updating the string. Firefox
should be patched for this.
