Created attachment 97805 [details] stracing shows surpising involvement of sound, not understood It seems that some kind of sound problem crashes Mozilla??? Bob L.
SOLVED (?): In further testing, seems surely to be related to sound problems. I had configured Mozilla mail to play a wav file when new mail arrived. This seems to trigger the segfault and crash. Reconfiguring Mozilla mail not to play the sound file seems to stabilize Mozilla, I have had no crashes since this step.
You should file that upstream at bugzilla.mozilla.org. Sounds like it might be an upstream problem.
