--- Comment #2 from Brad Sliger <code at sliger.org> ---
I think this is happening to me.  Setting NSS_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE=dbm in Firefox's
environment keeps Firefox from crashing.  Thanks!

Firefox will start up, do its initial splashes and animations for a few
seconds, then crash with messages like the following:

[Child 81768] ###!!! ABORT: Aborting on channel error.: file
/usr/ports/www/firefox-esr/work/firefox-52.6.0esr/ipc/glue/MessageChannel.cpp,
line 2152
[Child 81768] ###!!! ABORT: Aborting on channel error.: file
/usr/ports/www/firefox-esr/work/firefox-52.6.0esr/ipc/glue/MessageChannel.cpp,
line 2152
zsh: bus error  firefox

dmesg will show something like:

pid 77538 (firefox), uid 1009: exited on signal 10
pid 81768 (firefox), uid 1009: exited on signal 11

Firefox won't crash for me if it already has its configuration files.  If it's
started in an empty sandbox, without setting NSS_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE=dbm, it'll
crash fairly quickly.
