firefox sigpipe crash 01 GDB backtrace

Description of problem:

Current Firefox 40 on Fedora 22 x86_64 crashes quite often (up to multiple times per day) for me. It happens randomly, so no easy steps to reproduce. Just browse the web and eventually firefox will crash.. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-40.0.3-1.fc22.x86_64


How reproducible:
Randomly, but often. It has happened many times recently.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse the web.
2. ??? 
3. firefox crashes.

Actual results:
Firefox crashes with SIGPIPE.

Expected results:
Firefox doesn't crash.

Additional info:

GDB output:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fffd9cfe700 (LWP 10240)]
0x00007ffff7bcfa2f in __libc_send (fd=52, buf=buf@entry=0x7fff9b887000, n=n@entry=37,

I'll attach full GDB backtrace aswell.

I also submitted upstream Mozilla bugzilla entry about this same issue:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1205203

Comment 2 Pasi Karkkainen 2015-09-27 13:11:26 UTC
Btw this crash seems to be specific to Fedora build of Firefox. When I run the firefox binary provided by Mozilla it's stable - no crashes.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 19:18:42 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is

security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
