I can just go to youtube.it/com and choose a random one; e.g.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrJLzq_coUg

However, I tried your set of options (with RUST on and off, since you
don't have it): things didn't change, still crashing.

45.0.1_3,1, here, but I also went through 45.0.1,1, which crashed in the
same way.

I used sysutil/libchk, which should do more or less the same thing:
there were some unresolved references in binaries which should not be
related to FireFox: I solved that, but it's still crashing.
Any other thing to check?

Any pointer on that?
*If* firefox is incompatible with i386 I might switch, but it's going to
be a very long work; so I'd like to get some hint about this before I
venture myself in such a trouble.

I know the difference.
However this box's install predates amd64: I was using it more than 10
years ago (5.x or 6.x possibly) and it's still there through several
hardware and software upgrades.
Until now I haven't found any good reason to drop everything and
reinstall from scratch...

So do I, but I've gone through every minor update since I'm experiencing
these crashes.
