about:support fails on oneiric

[Micah Gersten]

I get this on the console:
Can't find symbol 'glXBindTexImageEXT'
Can't find symbol 'glXReleaseTexImageEXT'

Firefox crashes when one navigates to about:support in a clean profile.
ii firefox 6.0~b1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

Same behaviour on trunk:
ii firefox-trunk 8.0~a1~hg20110711r72585+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1

We should fix this by beta as about:support output is asked for when debugging.

I can't reproduce this with Oneiric all updates applied, firefox 6.0~b3+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 and firefox 8.0a1 (2011-07-27) nightly. Both of them display about:support correctly, both in the default profile, and also in a clean profile. Can anyone reconfirm this issue, or did it get fixed in the meantime?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Cannot reproduce anymore, marking invalid since we don't know what fixed it.

So, this still shows the missing symbols in the debug output, but only on 6b3, not trunk, so I'm going to leave this closed as we'll have Firefox 8 in oneiric a few weeks after release.

I have to open again this bug - in Natty today Firefox 5 auto upgrade to Firefox 6
then gray blank window
on terminal :
sorin@sorinn:~$ firefox
Can't find symbol 'glXBindTexImageEXT'
Can't find symbol 'glXReleaseTexImageEXT'

Indeed, the failure still shows up, but as I mentioned in my last comment, this seems to have been fixed in Firefox 8. If this is causing a crash as it originally was for me with about:support, please file a new bug with the crash ID from about:crashes after you submit the crash to Mozilla. Otherwise, please wait for Firefox 8 for this to hopefully disappear.
