Followup-For: Bug #864884 Package: firefox-esr Version: 52.2.0esr-1~deb8u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, After updating firefox-esr from 49.9.0esr-1~deb8u1 to 52.2.0esr-1~deb8u1, I experienced the exact same problem as Mr. Walton. Firefox always immediately crashes on startup, -safe-mode or not, with the error: (firefox-esr:8273): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref)count > 0' failed ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 8317 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... followed by the Mozilla crash reporter dialog. Restarting produces the same error. Downgrading back to 49.9.0esr-1deb8u1 resolves the issue. I did not get the error message Mr. Levasseur received, neither did his suggestion of tinkering with KDE's GTK settings make any difference. However, he was using Wheezy, whereas Mr. Walton and I experienced this on Jessie. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.9 APT prefers oldstable-updates Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages firefox-esr depends on: ii debianutils 4.8.1.1 ii fontconfig 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-11 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.8-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.18-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 ii libffi6 3.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.2 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1+deb8u1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-3+deb8u2 ii libhunspell-1.3-0 1.3.3-3 ii libjsoncpp0 0.6.0~rc2-3.1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-4 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4+b2 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcb-shm0 1.12-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii procps 2:3.3.12-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 firefox-esr recommends no packages.
