Conkeror console output

FreeBSD leno 10.2-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p7 #0: Mon Nov  2 14:19:39 UTC 2015     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Using FreeBSD-latest repository: http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/

Repository build: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds/default:quarterly:101amd64:404468:beefy2

Installed www/xpi-conkeror

Right after starting Conkeror with 'conkeror' command, it crashed gracefully (without dumping core) after printing a lot of warnings and error.

I verified that Conkeror crashes exactly the same way on two of my amd64 machines.

The console output from Conkeror is attached as a file in this PR.

I suggest marking the application broken if it cannot be fixed.

Hi,

I just updated port to latest git snapshot. Could you please try it, and see if it fixes the problem for you ?

Thanks!

Now it does start. So in that sense it does work. Thank you.

It is really slow though, very unresponsive. If I open Youtube, or any other site with a lot of multimedia, the browser freezes for a while every time I move the mouse cursor or if I try to scroll up/down. Process uses at most 50% CPU while browsing. If I try to play any HTML5 video, process CPU usage spikes over 100%, and then settles around 60%. Maximum video resolution is 720p, full-screen video does not work. Using laptop with dual-core (4 HT) Intel i4, HD 4000 GPU.

I would need more data to figure out if this unresponsiveness is normal for this browser in all systems, or if this is a FreeBSD specific thing. Unfortunately I don't have a Linux system to test this.

Did you try it with FIREFOX option as well, which has a newer version of libxul ?

Thanks!

Don't know if this is helpful:
I downloaded it from git clone git://repo.or.cz/conkeror.git.
And this version started without problems. (Version 1.0pre1).

Derails here:
http://conkeror.org/InstallationUnix#git

I read on the net this is a bug, and it should exist a newer version 1.0.3 (I think it was a ArchLinux forum but I did not find).
Maybe, the version I donwloaded is a patched one, but I don't know.

The version in the port, is also not working on my system.

I don't look at the date, but the problem now again exists. details:

I thin k this not relevant  anymore. Newer versions seems to work.
