firefox-55.0.2-3.fc26 coredump on ppc64le in fc26 Updates problem identified while running openQA test for Fedora Updates fc26 the "server_cockpit_default" test is failing when trying to start firefox. I am able to recreate the problem on a ppc64le guest trying to start firefox. coredumpctl is reporting two failures (1) The gdb subcommand is unable to access the dump file as per (2) & (3) But is reporting the crash on "mozilla::ipc::MessageChannel::OnChannelErrorFromLink" === (1) $sudo coredumpctl TIME PID UID GID SIG COREFILE EXE Wed 2017-08-30 07:27:32 EDT 2492 1000 1000 11 present /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox Wed 2017-08-30 07:27:34 EDT 2576 1000 1000 11 present /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox === (2) $sudo coredumpctl gdb PID: 2576 (Web Content) UID: 1000 (michel) GID: 1000 (michel) Signal: 11 (SEGV) Timestamp: Wed 2017-08-30 07:27:19 EDT (25min ago) Command Line: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 5:50|6:-1|18:0|28:1000|33:20|34:10|43:128|44:10000|49:0|51:400|52:1|53:0|54:0|59:0|60:120|61:120|91:2|92:1|106:5000|117:0|119:0|130:10000|155:24|156:32768|158:0|159:0|167:5|171:1048576|172:100|173:5000|175:600|176:4|177:1|200:60000| -boolPrefs 1:0|2:0|4:0|26:1|27:1|30:0|35:1|36:0|37:0|38:0|41:1|42:1|45:0|46:0|47:0|48:0|50:0|55:1|56:1|57:0|58:1|62:1|63:1|64:0|65:1|66:1|67:0|68:1|71:0|72:0|75:1|76:1|80:1|81:1|82:1|83:0|85:0|86:0|87:1|88:0|93:1|94:0|100:0|105:0|108:1|109:0|111:1|114:1|118:0|122:0|124:1|125:1|131:0|132:0|133:1|135:0|146:0|153:0|154:0|157:1|160:0|162:1|164:1|165:0|170:0|174:1|179:0|180:0|181:0|182:1|183:0|184:0|185:1|192:0|193:0|194:1|195:1|196:0|197:1|198:1|199:1|201:0|202:0|204:0|212:1|213:1|214:0|215:0|216:0| -stringPrefs 3:7;default|134:3;1.0|151:332; |152:8;moderate| -greomni /usr/lib64/firefox/omni.ja -appomni /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/omni.ja -appdir /usr/lib64/firefox/browser 2492 tab Executable: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox Control Group: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-7.scope Unit: session-7.scope Slice: user-1000.slice Session: 7 Owner UID: 1000 (michel) Boot ID: 98a6c3e7b0cb4784a63001bfca18fde7 Machine ID: 516a75fad2d84acfb007b26892e148ed Hostname: fc26ppc64le Storage: /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.Web\x20Content.1000.98a6c3e7b0cb4784a63001bfca18fde7.2576.1504092439000000.lz4 Message: Process 2576 (Web Content) of user 1000 dumped core.

note that if I disable the Fedora Update repository and so install the GA level (firefox 54.0.2) on a new fc26 ppc64le guest then there is no such crash. So problem is related to new firefox 55 version as per above description.
Created attachment 1320074 [details] firefox coredump backtrace via gdb I am able to extract the firefox backtrace after install of gdb and firefox debuginfo packages; as detailed in attached log file.
Still same problem with update of last firefox-56.0.5.fc26 on fc26 release but also on f27 as per last openQA test: https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/183053#step/server_cockpit_default/23
I assume still same problem on Rawhide (f28) compose 20180204 firefox-58.0-4 as per openqa test https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/236286#step/server_cockpit_default/22 But reports this bug as duplicate bug#1498561 used for investigation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1498561 ***
