Bug #26529
closed
Forgot to mention, that it does not crash, when I disable Javascript (as expected)
I guess you can only reproduce this with this installation of Firefox, right?
- Your crash report shows that you have installed some language packs and I guess the standard theme (with the identification "972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd"). Does changing the theme help?
- Do you also have this problem, when you start Firefox in safe mode?
- Might be an idea to create a new profile in Firefox and to test with that profile.
So I tried all these and it still crashes:
- I changed the theme
- I removed 2 language packs (except DE and EN)
- I created a blank new profile
- I started in safe mode
Is there any debug log for firefox?
Apart from the Crash Report (which you already posted) there is the JavaScript console, which logs JS errors. But I don't know if that helps you, when the complete browser crashes...
No the browser crashes very fast and there is no log output. Maybe it's caused by some local misconfiguration?
I think we can wait, until other people confirm the problem, since I have no idea how to debug this anymore...

Yes, I think so. Maybe you can get help in a Firefox forum? Maybe people there are able to give you clues about what can cause this kind of weird behaviour.
So I now figured out, that it was a graphic driver problem. When starting firefox from console it crashes with a segmentation fault, when entering the Login page.
The same response I get when calling fglrxinfo: OpenGL driver with Debian and ATI card ...
Maybe it's related to the fact that Firefox 4 has the WebGL support? But that has to be explicitly enabled...
What I can't understand: Why does this only happen with TYPO3 4.5 Login page?
I tried some complex ExtJS pages - no problems there.
Do we invoke any WebGL commands in the backend?

Does " was a problem" mean that you could fix it?

WebGL in Firefox is enabled by default, if you have a current enough driver installed and if the video card supports it.

I don't know.

I have not heard that TYPO3 4.5 has been optimized to use WebGL. But I don't know if Firefox somehow applies it automatically (assuming that it is enabled).
- Category set to Backend User Interface
- Status changed from New to Needs Feedback
Still valid with the current TYPO3 core and the most recent Firefox (4.x is out of support AFAIK).
Is that a question or a bug confirmation? (Not sure since you changed status to "Needs feedback")
I didn't get FF to crash and FF 4.x is very old, so can we close this issue?
Yes please close it! Thanks for cleaning up!
- Status changed from Needs Feedback to Resolved
THk for the great job on TYPO3 ! ;)
And sorry to re-open it ;-)
Backend still crash with Firefox 26.0 and TYPO3 6.1.5
I am on Ubuntu with NVIDIA chipset
A temporary solution :
In Firefox
about:config
,set
webgl.disabled
It would be great to fix it, as systematic Firefox crash could be a bad first approach for TYPO3 newcomers ;-)
If I can help in anyway, just tell me,
All the best,
laurent
