I've observed reproducible crashes on startup as well, similar symptoms, also
i386. Firefox creates the browser window and then crashes. This is with
firefox 18.0.1 built from ports, on -current as of yesterday. Here is the
backtrace:
#0 0x01875abd in kill () at <stdin>:2
2 <stdin>: No such file or directory.
in <stdin>
(gdb) bt

>From the firefox 18.0.1 source code:
nsEmbedFunctions.cpp:
XRE_InstallX11ErrorHandler()
{
InstallX11ErrorHandler();
}
nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp:
void
InstallX11ErrorHandler()
{
XSetErrorHandler(X11Error);
Display *display = mozilla::DefaultXDisplay();
NS_ASSERTION(display, "No X display");
if (PR_GetEnv("MOZ_X_SYNC")) {
XSynchronize(display, True);
}
}
X11Util.h:
inline Display*
DefaultXDisplay()
{
#if defined(MOZ_WIDGET_GTK)
return GDK_DISPLAY_XDISPLAY(gdk_display_get_default());
#elif defined(MOZ_WIDGET_QT)
return gfxQtPlatform::GetXDisplay();
#endif
}
Very strange. So if the backtrace is trustworthy looks like
gdk_display_get_default fails for some reason.
Cheers,
