[Touch-packages] [Bug 1660450] Re: Firefox crashes unity8 zesty
There's some platform-specific code in firefox itself that's trying to detect the display name using the environment, but it's only been done for x11, wayland, and broadway. It needs to be fixed in upstream firefox: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla- central/file/f7e1982a2582/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#l2896 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart-app-launch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660450 Title: Firefox crashes unity8 zesty Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in upstart-app-launch package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I believe this is a different bug than bug 1627311 using a fresh zesty install, logging into unity8 deb session I installed libertine manager Since FF is installed as part of the original image - it shows up automagically in the app drawer.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1660450] Re: Firefox crashes unity8 zesty
Ok, I looked a bit, and it appears Firefox is trying to use the GDK-Mir backend, but I'm guessing the GDK-Mir backend is not mature enough yet (?), so the app bails. Definitely not an Xmir issue as Xmir is not even trying to be used in this case. ** No longer affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart-app-launch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660450 Title: Firefox crashes unity8 zesty Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in upstart-app-launch package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I believe this is a different bug than bug 1627311 using a fresh zesty install, logging into unity8 deb session I installed libertine manager Since FF is installed as part of the original image - it shows up automagically in the app drawer.
