Package: firefox-esr Version: 60.3.0esr-1~deb9u1 Severity: important This is essentially a downstream bug report of bz#1477176 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477176 ).
firefox-esr currently segfaults right on startup on ppc64le during the first memory allocation call. I cannot provide a useful backtrace because firefox-esr-dbgsym is not available (not even in stretch-proposed-updates, you should upload the package there) since security doesn't have a dbgsym archive (#894081). A workaround for this issue is to build firefox with (moz)jemalloc disabled. I'd suggest to do this for any non-x86-based architecture like RHEL does, because (moz)jemalloc doesn't seem to be too stable on exotic architectures. Appending %if DEB_HOST_ARCH != amd64 && DEB_HOST_ARCH != i386 ac_add_options --disable-jemalloc %endif to debian/browser.mozconfig.in just about does the trick. Mihai
