Firefox and Firefox ESR on 12.2-RELEASE, segmentation faults

[eldaemon]

I updated to 12.2-RELEASE recently and compile firefox (normally, www/firefox-esr) with portmaster. I was using firefox-esr 68, with the 2020Q3 ports tree. Now with 2020Q4 it's on firefox-esr 78 and my firefox builds segfault, even in --headless mode.

Is anyone having this issue with the upstream packages?

Thank you!

I've been hit by what might be this one, too. I'm not using packages.

In my case the solution was found here:

⚙ D23100 lang/rust: Add COMPAT_FREEBSD11 canary

reviews.freebsd.org

"The Rust ecosystem currently uses pre-ino64 syscalls, so building lang/rust without COMPAT_FREEBSD11 is not going to work."

So, check if You have COMPAT_FREEBSD11 in the kernel, and if not, then that it the cause.
(Not sure what has to be rebuilt, besides the kernel)

Thank you. I'm still running the stock kernel configuration, so COMPAT_FREEBSD11 should still be set. I think this is something else.

One thing I've noticed is that anything OpenGL crashes, but I think it's a different issue because Firefox won't even run in Xephyr.

I figured it out! Finally!

pkg install dante induces the issue. pkg remove dante fixes the issue.
