Bug#998108: firefox freezes shortly after start
I just had one occasion of the "freezing" problem... but it was the first time since we got 94.0-2. Also it didn't occur short after start, but quite some time after browsing the very same websites. But the symptoms were as described in message #15 (i.e. that loading wheel). So there may be still some issue left (or it might be something new/unrelated). Cheers, Chris.
Bug#998108: firefox freezes shortly after start
After the upgrade to 94.0-2, I still experienced some crashes, but disabling hardware acceleration (about:preferences > General > Performance > uncheck both checkboxes and set processing limit to 8) fixed it for me.

If you open /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so in a hex editor and go to file offset 0x46a4703, you can perform a find and replace with the below hex strings: find:498B5C2408904889DFFF157FBD9703EBF5 replace: 4D8B6C2408904C89EFFF157FBD9703EBDA This effectively performs the following changes to the binary: --- libxul.so.S.before2021-11-12 03:15:52.985702747 +1100 +++ libxul.so.S.after2021-11-12 04:13:27.364102267 +1100 @@ -18661992,15 +18661992,15 @@ 4e956f2:41 ff d5 call *%r13 4e956f5:48 8d 0d cc 87 96 03 lea0x39687cc(%rip),%rcx # 87fdec8 <_ZZNKSt8__detail11_AnyMatcherINSt7__cxx1112regex_traitsIcEELb0ELb0ELb0EEclEcE5__nul@@xul94+0xaed18> 4e956fc:48 8d 15 cd 87 96 03 lea0x39687cd(%rip),%rdx # 87fded0 <_ZZNKSt8__detail11_AnyMatcherINSt7__cxx1112regex_traitsIcEELb0ELb0ELb0EEclEcE5__nul@@xul94+0xaed20> 4e95703:48 83 7b 40 00 cmpq $0x0,0x40(%rbx) 4e95708:74 11je 4e9571b - 4e9570a:49 8b 5c 24 08 mov0x8(%r12),%rbx + 4e9570a:4d 8b 6c 24 08 mov0x8(%r12),%r13 4e9570f:90 nop - 4e95710:48 89 df mov%rbx,%rdi + 4e95710:4c 89 ef mov%r13,%rdi 4e95713:ff 15 7f bd 97 03call *0x397bd7f(%rip) # 8811498 - 4e95719:eb f5jmp4e95710 + 4e95719:eb dajmp4e956f5 4e9571b:8b 02mov(%rdx),%eax 4e9571d:83 c0 ff add$0x,%eax 4e95720:83 f8 01 cmp$0x1,%eax 4e95723:0f 87 13 02 00 00ja 4e9593c 4e95729:4c 8b 29 mov(%rcx),%r13 This basically changes the binary such that it no longer infinite loops in the PulseStream::stop() function, and actually checks self.drain_timer every loop as it's supposed to

Which I hope really happens... I know there is no official security support for unstable, but as this bug shows: many people (including DDs) seem to use it on their working systems and it's probably not so good for all these to have to stick with an old version with plenty of high-rated security issues. Cheers, Chris.
Bug#998108: firefox freezes shortly after start
I narrowed down the freeze to the cubeb pulse code (part of the audio library firefox uses), and I found that it was actually fixed almost a month ago: https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb-pulse-rs/pull/72 It's already been merged into firefox on-track for v95: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1735905 A separate user confirmed on the openSUSE bug that it was fixed with the change: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192067#c30 So either the change needs to be backported to v94, or we'll just have to wait until v95 (or compile the browser ourselves)

Hi, I was also experiencing this problem and was monitoring this bug report for potential solutions, but the problem seems to have recently disappeared. I haven't experienced it since yesterday (2021-11-05) even on sites that I knew to trigger it previously. Like everyone else, the problem started for me with 93.0-1+b1 and persisted with 94.0-1. I am currently still using 94.0-1 with no problems. Perhaps a recent lib update resolved this? Adon

Package: firefox Version: 94.0-1 Followup-For: Bug #998108 Same here, problems started with 93.0-1+b1, and are also present on FF 94. Firefox hangs at random times, doesn't quit properly preventing normal restart, doesn't recognize audio devices correctly. As others noted, FF hangs almost instantly for me when using anything involving media (audio/video playback). --safe-mode doesn't change anything. Disabling all flags for HW acceleration doesn't do anything either. Downgrading to 93.0-1 on the same system fixes the issue.

I'm encountering this as well. It happens slower if I just browse, and much much faster if I use something like WebGL.

Hi, same issue here: - AMD64 install - Debian testing + firefox from unstable After 93.0-1+b1 install, firefox freeze on some web sites, specially when new tab open a new link. According to "strace" command, this is look faulted tab open nvidia library, so maybe issue is linker to video acceleration. According to upper Philipp Huebner's reply, downgrading to 93.0-1 from snapshot.debian.org has fix issue. Finally, using latest firefox nightly version from https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/channel/desktop/#nightly (today this is 95.0a1) also fix issue. Best regards, Olivier

Package: firefox
Version: 93.0-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hey.
Since about yesterday (possibly since the rebuilt package came in)
firefox freezes shortly after being started.
There is no high CPU activity then, it just takes no input anymore
(no keyboard, no mouse clicks).
This also happens in --safe-mode.
Any ideas?
Chris.
