Confirming, the same happens with firefox-beta.

When started from a konsole there is a message about a segmentation fault and that a memory dump has been made.

However, I cannot find that file, at least not if it should have a .dump or .extra extension.

I have no time to try again with firefox from upstream. That should be tried, though.

My DE is Plasma5

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for this package.

I think I've also seen a crash when trying to open a pdf in Firefox

Can someone attach (not paste) a GDB trace of such a crash?
