firefox on linux crashes repeatedly
about:crashes is consistently empty. But there is always a dialogbox asking me to quit or restart and if I want to tell mozilla about the crash. Once it crashed with this stacktrace:

(gdb) quit
Another time it just exited with exit code 6.
But it happens repeatedly.
I was first thinking that it got killed by OOM killer, since there was a big virtual machine running with 8GB associated with it, while the machine got 16GB.
I'm already starting firefox by deleting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before...

it stopped as suddenly as it started. I assume that it was caused by our sysadmin installing OS updates remotely while I was using the machine. Or potentially by some NFS disk being full and many machines coming to a complete stop despite my home directory was not on the NFS disk in question. Sorry about all this noise!

It also crashes in safe mode. It also crashes when the virtual machine is not running on the host.
I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
