Does firefox-beta 42b9 works better? (That's firefox-beta-42.0-0.b9)
Also you can try firefox 42 which I've updated yesterday
Tried out firefox 42 yesterday, but had it crash once after some use. If you think it could be of use, I can get another backtrace with this version
Does it still crash if you disable layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled ?

I asked about firefox-beta as this one has cairo disabled like FC. I think I'll disable it in main ff too.

Tried Firefox 42 updated on 11/1 and it crashed once just 5 minutes ago. I'll try disabling layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled and see if it works better.
I tried Firefox 42 in its safe mode (w/ all addons disabled) and found that every time I went to Facebook to post something, Firefox segfaulted all the time; however, using Nightly from the official Firefox site to browse Facebook did not.
Please try firefox-42.0-1.mga6 uploaded 5mn ago
Still crashing pretty regularly with firefox-42.0-1.mga6 (x86_64). Facebook seems to exacerbate the issue, though not in an easily reproducible fashion.

I haven't kept track of the cauldron versions, but I can say that (updating every day) I haven't seen any crashes in the past 2-3 days.

Still crashing, too. By the way, I tried launching Firefox in Konsole and found that there was some text output in Konsole when Firefox crashed. I don't know if that helps but the text as follows: Vector smash protection is enabled. ç¨å¼è¨æ¶é«å段é¯èª¤ [NPAPI 12745] ###!!!

I'll push a new one in a couple hours
Chiming in just to report I haven't experienced any crashes so far with the current Firefox (will keep checking for a couple more days), and that Jin-tong Hu's issue is probably different from mine, as running Firefox from terminal would only report a segmentation fault and nothing else after a crash
firefox-42.0-2.mga6 is out since yesterday evening
With the latest Firefox, there seems to be no more segfault; at least no segfault on Facebook. Thanks.
