Description Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-04-16 18:04:15 UTC
Description of problem:
I've hit a ff crash that is:
 https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2077858/

a couple of times now;   the graphs on that show a few hundred hits, with almost all of them being f28; so it looks like we've got a regression on our hands.
abrt refuses to report it (saying the backtrace is unusable) - although IMHO it looks fine to me.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-59.0.2-1.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
rarely

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Not sure;  I was watching youtube in one window and playing some h264 videos (from a CCTV camera) in the other;  but it's rare
2.
3.

Actual results:

crash 
Expected results:
Nice videos

Additional info:
Although abrt says the backtrace is unusable, this is what I've got:

Comment 1 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-04-16 18:45:08 UTC
persuaded abrt to file this; duping to the abrt version
