[gentoo-user] firefox crashing when printing

[Allan Gottlieb]

Firefox is now crashing whenever I print a page.  Firefox gives its
popup showing the status.  When the status is complete, everything
vanishes and nothing is printed.  The error msg is not very helpful.

    gottlieb@ajglap ~/doc $ firefox
    No running windows found

    (firefox-bin:9293): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
    /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 116:  9293 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin" "$@"
    firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)
    gottlieb@ajglap ~/doc $ 

I can print fine with mozilla and with ggv (and lpr of text files).

I should note.

1.  Recently an
   emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world
brought in mozilla.  I am not sure what change caused this.
This might be the first time I printed since that emerge.

2.  I emerged gnome-light a long time ago

3.  I tried very recently to follow the gentoo-wiki on native windows
printing.  This was the first print after that attempt (but as listed
above; only firefox printing has problems).

thanks in advance for any help.
