Firefox 143.0.1 crashes in combination with new GDK-PixBuf2 (2.44.1-2)

Description:

Firefox 143.0.1-1 crashes when a file chooser dialog is opened, such as when saving a file or wanting to upload a file.

Additional info:

Downgrading gdk-pixbuf2 2.44.1-2 (currently in testing) to 2.42.12-2 fixes the issue.

  • package version(s): Firefox 143.0.1-1
  • config and/or log files: N/A
  • link to upstream bug report, if any: N/A

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upgrade to gdk-pixbuf2 2.44.1-2 (from extra-testing).
  2. Run Firefox.
  3. Do something that requires a file chooser dialog e.g., try to download and save a file, try to upload a file, or from File menu choose the "Open File..." item.

Firefox (and possibly other packages depending on gdk-pixbuf2) probably should be rebuilt against the new version.
