Since version 40 I've been experiencing apparently random crashes in Firefox, typically when opening a link in a new tab. I've rebuilt it with debug symbols and produced a couple of ~1.5GB core files. Backtraces from gdb as follows:

I'm running Gentoo Linux x86-64 using gcc 4.9.3 (no crazy optimization flags). No real experience using gdb, but happy to try and extract any further information given a suitable incantation.

It does not look like the previous latest version is stable either:

That is just on place the packages it for your operating system. Currently Firefox for Linux is packaged by one version.

You can find the report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).

  • click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the about:crashes page and see all crash reports.

Alternatively you can open about:crashes via the location/address bar.
