Description anenokoji 2009-06-11 15:02:52 UTC

Description of problem:  I thought I was mistaken, but I did have 110gb free disk space before upgrading to f11.  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  3.5b4


How reproducible: Don't know.  Work machine, don't feel like trying over.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Use preupgrade to upgrade to f11
2.  use firefox
3.  
  
Actual results:  in the profile directory(under ~/.mozilla/firefox), there are numerous places.sqllite-$NUMBER.corrupt

file count:
[momo@kendo 5wrbz4cp.default]# ls -l | wc -l
2918

portion of ls -l
...
-rw-r--r--. 1 momo momo 48545792 2009-06-10 11:09 places.sqlite-996.corrupt
-rw-r--r--. 1 momo momo 48545792 2009-06-10 11:10 places.sqlite-997.corrupt
-rw-r--r--. 1 momo momo 48545792 2009-06-10 11:10 places.sqlite-998.corrupt
-rw-r--r--. 1 momo momo 48545792 2009-06-10 08:40 places.sqlite-99.corrupt
...

[momo@kendo firefox]# du -h --max-depth=1
32K     ./Crash Reports
111G    ./5wrbz4cp.default
111G    .


Expected results:  


Additional info:  None of my firefox data was saved.  I was running binaries of 3.5b4 in f10 and never had any problems.  Now, I have numerous problems with this firefox.  The address bar doesn't work, it'll stop loading web pages.  I've also uninstalled and re-installed firefox via yum.  Let me know if there is any other data that I can provide.

So, I will update the bug.  Even using the binary from mozilla.org within 2 minutes of being opened it created almost 50 .corrupt files.

Comment 2 anenokoji 2009-06-11 20:09:07 UTC

OK, so it looks like my profile was corrupted.  It's running fine now after making a new one.  So, somehow during the f11 preupgrade something went awry.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-15 11:29:56 UTC

I don't know, I haven't seen profile corruption much lately (sqlite apparently *IS* more stable). I can either close this as "who knows what happened?" bug (aka NOTABUG), or push this upstream to bugzilla.mozilla.org is they have any thoughts. What do you prefer?

Comment 4 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-25 06:44:37 UTC

Well, unfortunately, I can full reproduce this bug with already upgraded and installed firefox.

bradford:t5k6klu2.default$ ls places.sqlite-*.corrupt|wc -l
904
bradford:t5k6klu2.default$ 

Apparently that "upgrade" part is a red herring. It could happen even with already working F11.

Will investigate further.

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-25 06:55:03 UTC

Looks like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493374 has the fix

Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2009-06-25 09:06:50 UTC

It's fixed in the upcoming firefox 3.5 RC.

Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2009-06-25 09:09:38 UTC

closing as upstream (actually it's already fixed by mozilla).
