Firefox crashes: localisation

[tlaronde%polynum.com@localhost]

Just a note that may help others.

I'm on NetBSD 8.0 amd64 and I'm running firefox-71.0.

I had crashes when I tried to save a file or to select a file when
using Web forms asking to attach some file for a message.

The problem was with the locale. I have to explicitely set at least
LC_CTYPE for the crashes to cease (at least for now...).

I have something like this in my .twmrc file:


"Firefox"		f.exec "ulimit -c 0; LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO8859-15; exec xterm +hold -iconic -e firefox&"

(the ulimit is to avoid core dumps; the xterm allows to have an
icon---I'm then sure I have selected the item and something is
happening---and allows too to see warning and error messages without
polluting another xterm for that.)

Other tip:

https://get.webgl.org/

said that Firefox apparently supported Webgl but it was not functionnal.

In fact, setting in about:config
    
webgl.force-enabled true
												
is sufficient to get things working.
