Sorry, I lied, it seems it is broken on F42 as well. Just hadn't noticed yet. Is it possible that we're hitting missing implementation here? https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/parser/html/nsHtml5TokenizerALUStubs.cpp#16 Can you try mozilla binaries? https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2024/04/19/firefox-nightly-now-available-for-linux-on-arm64/ The Mozilla binary seems to run: https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/5674014 (I did some very gross hacks to the test, temporarily, to make it download and run the nightly; the update the test claims to have run against is irrelevant). in case we need it again, this was the gross hack:

Thanks for testing Adam. Do I understand correctly that Fedora distro build is broken while Mozilla binaries work? Looks like we failed to select correct build target here: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/rev/04cf27582307a9c351e991c740828d54cf786b76/parser/html/moz.build#111 Mozilla binaries use clang I wonder if that's the factor here. Looks like this one introduced it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1499682 Upstream bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2005469 Thanks! Yes, that's correct, Mozilla binary works, distro package is broken (but the failure gated it, so it didn't go stable). |
Created attachment 2118183 [details] backtrace of the crash In openQA testing, firefox-146.0-2.fc43 seems to crash on startup on aarch64. This is not happening on x86_64, and the f42 update was also OK. There doesn't seem to be a build for Rawhide so I can't tell if it's happening there also. The initial crash seems to be in a WebExtensions process (really /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox ). I've backtraced it, and am attaching the backtrace.
