Firefox 25.0 64-bit build Issue

Post by whardman »

Does anyone build Firefox 64-bit off of mozilla-release? It builds fine, but I am getting a crash in process-container.exe every time I interact with flash (hitting pause on a youtube video will hit the crash). I can post the stack trace if anyone has enough knowledge of that area.

It works on a downloaded version of 25.0a1 (2013-08-05 http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/482b9d04974a) right before the aurora uplift, and crashes on my build on the uplift to aurora (2013-08-07ish http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla- ... ae43242608). Build configs are essentially identical to release builds, using VS 2010 to build. I am trying to bisect, but at 2 hours a build it is going to take a while.

Any ideas? Should I file it as a bug report, or would they just dismiss it as an unsupported platform/build? I've been building with the same setup since 10.0 and haven't had any issues except for the occasional build failure due to a needed config change.

And mozilla refused to solve it for 25.0 x64.
So you can revert Bug 899026 patch, or use Bug 901963 patch.

My x64 edition is here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcxfire ... /25.0/x64/

Hmmm, I swear I posted a response a while back.

That worked perfectly, thanks. Its a shame Mozilla won't provide better support for 64-bit builds. I did see a bug report a little while back about wanting to make Win64 a Tier 1 platform. I had to go track this post down to re-patch 25.0.1

Mozilla only considered nightly x64 edition bug, so if you find x64 release edition issues, tell me please, I will narrow the problem.
