Does it crashes when you don't restore the session? The session data are stored in places.sqlite in your profile but it's unpractical to handle it here as it contains your complete browsing history. It does not crash right away when I start with an empty session. It also runs for longer when I disable all plugins. However, it does still crash eventually, with the same looking stack trace. I believe it is a memory usage problem. It seems to happen especially after using Google apps like Inbox or Plus for a while. This doesn't happen to me with Firefox on Windows, so I am guessing it is something specific to the Fedora 24 build process (built with new GCC version?) or perhaps the GUI libraries. The bug may not be in the GC code at all, but just memory corruption that gets revealed by the GC code. firefox-45.0.2-2.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-cebfb38250 firefox-45.0.2-2.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository.
