[Bug 828049] Re: Firefox crashes on systems with nvidia optimus

[Alexander Blomen]

CLI output:

user at hostname:~$ firefox 
Couldn't get object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
Can't find symbol 'glXBindTexImageEXT'
Can't find symbol 'glXReleaseTexImageEXT'
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
out of memory

Steps to reproduce:
1. Buy the wrong laptop (a dell XPS 15z in my case)
2. Open a few tabs, pressing "view page source" seems to help too.

Dell XPS 15z
