Firefox crashes in the default Debian build - User 11436 - 11-08-2019

Hi,

I recall in one of the videos/updates that it was mentioned that Firefox was less stable than Chromium, and that it would crash regularly. I'm not sure whether or not it's a useful observation, but I've noticed that the crashes almost always appears to be down to changes to the PBP's network interfaces, i.e. switching WiFi networks or connecting/disconnecting a VPN.

for me, on the default debian/mate image, fully updated (both mrfixit update script and apt), firefox crashes immediately on startup, does not matter network state
crashes when connected to wired network or wireless, no matter how started
from terminal :

rock@Debian-Desktop:~$ firefox
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 6785
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
[Child 6760, Chrome_ChildThread] WARNING: pipe error (3): Connection reset by peer: file /home/pi/firefox-65.0+build2/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 349

Latest update released today, v1.5, pushes the newest firefox version. It's much more stable Smile

Hi,

Thanks for replying on this. Is there a changelog somewhere? I'd love to know what else is new in v 1.5.

The details of the updates are usually just accompanied with the announcements Smile But a changelog would be a good idea to add at some point, thanks!
