caillon, can you take a look at this? It's because firefox tries to use 8bpp surfaces internally - but this is not supported by cairo image/pixman. Can check if it's possible to run firefox internally in 32-bit depth. Anyway, not sure it's worth to deal with it. Seems to be cause by cairo version used in rhel-5 (and evolution28) - currently whole GTK crashes when RHEL-5 desktop is run in 8 bit color depth. To avoid causing duplicate efforts, I want to mention that there is a service request number 1896950 about the "business side" of this problem. Thank you for submitting this issue for consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The release for which you requested us to review is now End of Life. Please See https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ If you would like Red Hat to re-consider your feature request for an active release, please re-open the request via appropriate support channels and provide additional supporting details about the importance of this issue. |
