gdb session on firefox.core

I just built and installed firefox-40.0,1. Now firefox crashes everytime after a few minutes of activity.

Attached is a short gdb session on firefox.core.

Can you try the suggestion in bug 202165 comment 5 ? Restart firefox and check "GPU Accelerated Windows" in about:support which should no longer have "(OMTC)".

Comment 5 Martin Birgmeier 2015-08-08 12:47:18 UTC
(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #1)

I changed the setting and verified that "OMTC" is no longer shown (it indeed was before).

I have not had a crash so far; of course, I'll have to test somewhat longer...

Also:
- I do have an nvidia card and use the (closed-source) nvidia driver
- I did indeed have the impression that firefox was crashing while scrolling (using the mouse wheel)

So, let's keep fingers crossed. I'll keep you posted.

"about:config:

  layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled -> false"
work fine for me, video i5-intel Sandybridge Mobile, ff build with:
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=GTK2
OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=GTK3

  www/firefox: temporarily disable OMTC to avoid crashes

  OMTC on X11 platforms uses BasicCompositor unless GL layers are
  also enabled. Change the default value of its pref in about:config.
  For now, bundled cairo is left as is pending more testing.

  No upstream bug as I cannot reproduce reliably to get the stacktrace(s)
  with a clean profile.

Thanks. Worked around. Test BUNDLED_CAIRO if you really want OMTC benefits.

  Electrolysis is going to require OMTC which had stability issues with
  system Cairo. To avoid trainwreck let's get more exposure.
