INO64 Effecting Firefox

[M&S - Krasznai András]

Hi,

Since last Thursday's update of Freebsd-12-current kernel, world (and precompiled packeges with pkg update/upgrade) I experience rather large number of Firefox crashes. Sometimes it crashes without opening any pages (I just started and left firefox for a few minutes, it crashes with the same error: 

A coding exception was thrown and uncaught in a Task.

Full message: TypeError: malformed UTF-8 charachter sequence at offset 0
etc. ) 


Version numbers:

FreeBSD-12-0-CURRENT #318917; firefox-53.0.3,1

best regards

András Krasznai

 Please try to rebuild firefox. It helps me today with firefox-esr segfaulting on my desktop running 12.0-CURRENT r318856  From my limited understanding of stacktraces it was related to libthr changes.
