Comment 1 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-05-14 16:24:26 UTC
Same thing happens on my work machine; entirely different hardware.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2018-05-15 11:43:43 UTC
That may be a dupe of Bug 1577277.

Can you please try to create a new fresh profile ($firefox -ProfileManager) and also disable all extensions in the new profile? Also do you see any related messages (selinux, mozilla sandbox) at system log ($journalctl -b). Thanks!

Also do you see any crashes at about:crash? If so please attach the signatures here.

I'm not seeing anything in the journal except the crash.  The odd thing is while it was failing like mad on Sunday (home machine) and Monday (work machine) - not surviving even for a few pages; now I've rolled them forward again to 60 from 59 (that I'd rolled back to) they seem happy on both of them; even on the existing profiles. So - wth?

Well, all those are null pointer crashes, looks like kind of assertion or missing system resources (file descriptors for instance) for IPC/e10s. There's similar bugreport here (Bug 1577277) and may be related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1401776

IF you see the crash again please try steps from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577277#c11, Thanks.

and while I had none yesterday; I just got:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/4221d658-c418-4554-bfdb-faaf21180519

and remote.autostart=false seems to be helping, I'll keep an eye on it

Comment 6 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-05-19 20:20:49 UTC
That was working well for a while then I started getting some more crashes; I've now set remote.autostart.2=false as well and that seems to be helping more; latest crashes:

Comment 7 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-05-19 20:25:49 UTC
hmm no, still doing it:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/d9063795-ad9e-4a7b-92b6-b56ac1180519

time to go back to 59

Comment 8 Martin Stransky 2018-05-28 11:09:44 UTC
Perhaps a dupe of Bug 1577277 - please reopen if the new update [1] does not help you.
