Summary	0005063: firefox-esr segfaults on arm64
Description	When launching firefox-esr on arm64 (tested on odroid-c2 and raspberrypi3 in 64bit mode) it simply crashes with a segfault. This has happened ever since the upgrade to 60. I have tried the different upgrades from Debian, including 60.1.x, 60.2.x and 60.3.x and they all have the same issue. What did work for me was taking the version from Debian stretch, which relies on an older libvpx and an older libevent-2 than the versions we have. Works: Debian stretch versions: libvpx4_1.6.1-3 libevent-2.0-5_2.0.21-stable-3 firefox-esr_60.3.0esr-1~deb9u1 Does not work: Kali versions: libvpx5_1.7.0-3 libevent-2.1-6_2.1.8-stable-4 firefox-esr_60.2.0esr-1 firefox-esr_60.3.0esr-1

g0tmi1k 2019-09-04 12:36 administrator ~0011015	Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.4), these legacy versions are no longer supported. We will be closing this ticket due to inactivity. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup?
