I had the same issue but it went away after updating the rest of the system. I don't know the underlying cause, unfortunately.

[qcc-na]

This is also happening for me.

[qcc-na]

Any ideas? This is super annoying. Mine has not gone away after updating.

[Duncaen]

No one provided any useful logs or backtraces with firefox-dbg.

[Johnnynator]

You both have sqlite-replication installed?

[qcc-na]

@Johnnynator

$ sudo xbps-query -Rs sqlite-replication
[*] sqlite-replication-3.29.0_2             Replication Enabled SQL Database Engine in a C Library

@Duncaen Sorry I haven't heard of firefox-dbg and I don't see it in the repos.

[Johnnynator]

Should be "fixed" with 74e013276dad78b4870ddec031aa843fff8e6b0e

[qcc-na]

@xtraeme Thanks, but its just habit

[qcc-na]

As a user I xbps-install much more often than I xbps-query, sudo and xbps is just kind of muscle memory for me.

[Johnnynator]

Firefox has a runtime check if the sqlite library that is in use is the exact same version as the one it was compiled against. ( https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/storage/mozStorageService.cpp#l209 ). sqlite-replication was a different version than sqlite therefore the check failed and firefox called MOZ_CRASH

[qcc-na]

Firefox works again after updating to the newest sqlite thank you for being a hero. @Johnnynator

[Anachron]

Please make make a note to always update sqllite with firefox.

[Duncaen]

Please make sure to supply backtraces whenever you report an issue from now on.

[Anachron]

I've rephrased my sentence.

[Duncaen]

You don't understand the issue, even if you rephrase it more politely its wrong.

[Anachron]

The issue here was a missing backtrace as not everybody was able to reproduce it and now Johnny found the issue meanwhile because I have no clue how to make a backtrace or use the mozilla debugger and had no time yet to get into it.

Smth like this can be done to get a backtrace, output will be in bt.log. The issue was quite obvious after looking at the backtrace for this, since it pointed to MOZ_CRASH("SQLite Version Error");, it would have been faster if someone had provided a backtrace before me.

# xbps-install -S void-repo-debug
# xbps-install -S firefox-dbg gdb
$ gdb firefox
(gdb) run
(gdb) set logging file bt.log
(gdb) set logging on
(gdb) bt full
(gdb) quit

Did not know about the debug repo, thanks for sharing.

[Anachron]

This is fixed.
