FireFox persistent seg. faults

[Dan Turner]

Hi,

I'm trying to get to the bottom of a problem I'm having. I am running
Firefox 33.0,1 on my FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p9 box.

Unfortunately, my FireFox process will quit (seemingly) at random every
few hours. Running it from a terminal shows a seg. fault.

I attempted to attach gdb to the process to acquire a stack trace, but
gdb unexpectedly fell over as soon as I attempted the attach.

I'm not sure how to go about retrieving more details for you, so if you
could point me in the right direction (there's no man page for console
arguments or anything, so I don't know if I could turn up logging, for
example?) that would be helpful.

This is the browser that I use daily, so I end up with lots of
credentials going into it, so I would expect a core dump to contain
sensitive information, unless I'm mistaken.

The attachment is the console output of my gdb session when it got its
pants in a twist.

Regards,

Dan Turner
