Details

Affected Versions:
Nightly 102

Tested on:

Ubuntu 22.04 - Wayland, Intel(R) HD Graphics 630
Ubuntu 22.04 - Wayland, Nvidia GTX 1050

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch Firefox, open several tabs, wait for pages to load;
  2. Open a new tab and type about:crashparent;
  3. Click Enter.

Expected Results:
The crash report prompt should be displayed and Firefox is restarted.

Actual Results:
Firefox is closed and nothing is displayed.

Note:

This issue happens on Ubuntu 22.04 - Wayland, Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 every time and is intermittent on Ubuntu 22.04 - Wayland, Nvidia GTX 1050

Summary: Missing the crash prompt report on Ubuntu 22 → Missing the crash prompt report on Ubuntu 22.04
Summary: Missing the crash prompt report on Ubuntu 22.04 → Missing the crash report prompt on Ubuntu 22.04

This is what I've discovered:

  1. If I download the build from the archive, unzip it, launch it and crash it with about:crashparent, the browser will show the Crash Reporter and properly save a crash report.

  2. If I install the latest nightly using the commands:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install firefox-trunk
    ...then the bug will reproduce and the system will show a "Nightly is busy" prompt with options to "wait" and "kill";
    OR the browser simply crashes without saving a crash report; When opened, the previous session is shown.
    OR the whole system freezes! a system restart is required.

Note: I do not test in GTX 1050 video card, but a GT 710 (both NVidia GeForce).
