Firefox Beta 58.0 not launching on Debian testing (buster)

[Xavier Piroux]

Hello,

I have installed Firefox 58.0 (beta) on my newly installed Debian testing.
It doesn't work : an almost-empty X window is launched showing an error,
and firefox is not working.

I have already filled a bug here but re-post the details here.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427003

Hope it will help.

Cheers,
Xavier

Steps to reproduce:

I have just installed firefox 58.0 (beta) on Debian testing (buster):
Adding in sources.list :
deb http://http.debian.net/debian experimental main
apt-get update
apt-get install firefox

Then, as normal user, I try to run Firefox beta (either clicking on
menu Applications -> Firefox, either in command line)


lsb_release --all
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux testing (buster)
Release:	testing
Codename:	buster

uname --all
Linux xxxxxxxxxxx 4.13.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.13.13-1 (2017-11-16)
x86_64 GNU/Linux



Actual results:

If Firefox ESR is already running and I launch Firefox Beta, nothing
happens (firefox beta not launched)

If Firefox ESR is not running and I launch Firefox beta, I got an
empty X window untitled, no URL navigation bar, no button.
And a xml error. I will try to reproduce bug again and make a screen capture.


Expected results:

Firefox should have run
