Firefox freezes after starting recording profile #3989
Comments
Hey David, thanks for filing the bug! TL;DR: it looks like Ubuntu updated something in how they build some packages (maybe a compiler change, maybe compiler option changes) that trigger a bug in our sandbox, when handling syscalls with 32 bits arguments and checking their values. We're calling such a syscall in the profiler. In the mean time there are 2 ways to make it work, both being imperfect:
We're committed in fixing the bug soon because it's blocking a lot of our users. |
Thanks for the quick reply! This is very useful. For now I'm going to use the first option and follow that bug so I don't forget to change the preference back. |
I am trying to use the profiler. I have added the button, but when I hit Start Recording Firefox completely freezes and I have to quit it. I'm using Firefox 99 on Ubuntu 20.04. I have tried with version 91 in a virtual machine and it works fine. Have also tried with version 93 in a virtual machine with Fedora 35 and even though it lets me start recording, the moment I hit stop it freezes. I'm not sure if this is a profiler issue or a Firefox issue. I have also asked in the Firefox support forums. Feel free to close this issue if it doesn't belong here
