Environment: OSX v10.12.1 Firefox 49.0.2 (but problem showed up in 49.0) Firebug 2.0.18 (but problem occurs also for ff build-in console)

I work localy using npm and gulp, I am not an front-end technologies expert but I think gulp runs web localy. Everything work fine until I turn on firebug (or console Cmd+alt+K) then firefox crashes (using memory is like 9Gb). It happens only for localy page (gulp) and it happens every time. It started when I updated ff to ver 49.0. My co-workers working on ff also have this problem.

It seems that firefox 50.0 fixes the issue.

For now, disable Firebug. Also contact its support.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

On the 'about:crashes' last report has date '24.09.2016 09:10' but the issue I have e.g. today. Maybe I did not make a precise, sorry, in my case crashes doesn't mean that browser turns off, crashes takes few sec (10 -20 sec) after that browser with firebug works fine. (this happen every time when I turn on firebug).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
