any ideas?

Get a backtrace of the crash with e.g. lldb -f /usr/local/bin/firefox -c ~/firefox.core -o bt -b

FWIW, Firefox 54.0,1 works fine for me.

i compiled mine from the ports tree using make install clean and selecting defaults.

i get error

 error file specified in --core (-c) option does not exist

i get error

 error file specified in --core (-c) option does not exist

firefox.core must be somewhere if it core dumps. Try to find it: find / -name firefox.core

i compiled mine from the ports tree using make install clean and selecting defaults.

Mine is built with SNDIO=on in Poudriere.

Tobic, the one installed with pkg firefox does not work fine for me. Does the following help?

bsd# lldb -f /usr/local/bin/firefox -c ~/firefox.core -o bt -b

After doing:

% pkg set -n libevent2:libevent
% pkg set -o devel/libevent2:devel/libevent

I still get core dumpings, but less verbose answer from lldb:

# lldb -f /usr/local/bin/firefox -c ~/firefox.core -o bt -b
(lldb) target create "/usr/local/bin/firefox" --core "/usr/home/user0/firefox.core"

Any hint?

I doubt any of us using Firefox have to do what you did with libevent. For that mattter, I don't have libevent2 on my workstation at all.

any ideas?

This shouldn't be so complicated. Why are you compiling it? Perhaps you're choosing some incompatible options. You could try the package to see if that helps.
