Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Previously, the Firefox application terminated unexpectedly when
attempting to display the file download dialog. With this update, the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable has been set correctly. As a result, showing the file dialog now works as expected.

GTK3 schema patch for Firefox 60
Description of problem: Some window prompts (such as "Browse...") cause Firefox 60ESR to crash as it cannot find a gsettings schema.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-60.1.0-5.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox 60 ESR on RHEL6
2. Browse to any page that has an attachment or browse button (such as this one, "Add an attachment")
3. Click Browse/Attach
Actual results:
Firefox Crashes
Expected results:
Firefox displays a GTK3 file system window
Additional info:
I have a "patch" that adds the env declaration to the launch wrapper. See the attachment.
Terminal output during the crash:
(firefox:30405): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
This happens with any GTK3 file browse window, so we have come across an easier way to reproduce this.
1. Open Firefox 60.1.0 on RHEL6
2. File -> Open File...
I have encountered this symptom on my local test box.
The OS was installed from RHEL6.8 DVD sometimes ago,
and I have updated firefox 60 RPM and dependencies.
firefox-60.1.0-5.el6
nspr-4.19.0-1.el6
nss-3.36.0-8.el6
nss-sysinit-3.36.0-8.el6
nss-tools-3.36.0-8.el6
nss-utils-3.36.0-1.el6
I can reproduce the crash 10 times in 10 tests.
From top Menu, File -> open
or
Right Click on a link -> Select "save as"

I can confirm using the reproducers in the bug description and comment 4, that an appropriate GTK3 file browse window successfully pops up when issuing various browse, add attachment or file open commands in firefox-60.1.0-6.el6.
XDG_DATA_DIRS should probably be set to something like "$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox/bundled/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/share}".
XDG_DATA_DIRS="$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox/bundled/share" (that is without any reference to standard data dirs) seems to break external viewers such as Evince. FF is unwilling to run them (or even to offer to run them) and when you convince FF to start them, they are likely to fail anyway.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated
files, follow the link below.
If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.
