I'm wondering if it is related to version ff version 28, kernel 3.14.x or that I activated "When an OCSP server conenction fails, treat the certificate as invalid" ?

Hello,
I have the same problems on Windows XP. The problem seems thus only firefox related.
Which modules do you have ?
I have adblockplus, sage feed and HTTPS Everywhere from EFF. I disabled HTTPS everywhere and didn't have crashes since then. There could be a SSL problem since I observed the crashes after the Heartbleed case.

I do have adblock edge, firetray, flashblock, https everywhere and noscript.
Well, the https everyhere made problems in the past too IIRC, so, yes, the crashes might be related to the SSL handling somehow. |

There was an update of HTTPS Everywhere arond mid-april, date of the beginning of the crashes.
I still use HTTPS to go to my favorite websites, but not with the plugin.
Try to disable it and see if the crashes disappear.

It does not "core dump" for me, but it gets stuck all the time. Nothing works, can't scroll anymore, entire window turns gray, ... and it does not recover by itself. By all means and purposes this seems like a browser crash, except it doesn't actually crash, just hangs completely.
Attaching with gdb and detaching makes it magically unstuck itself so I basically I have a shortcut for this command now.

(gdb) quit
A debugging session is active.
Inferior 1 [process 3242] will be detached.
Quit anyway? (y or n) y
Detaching from program: /proc/3242/exe, process 3242
|
After the detach the browser is back in working order until it hangs again a few minutes later.
Using kernel 3.14.2, up to date ~amd64 Gentoo on a Haswell i5, happens with both firefox-bin and firefox, both -28 and -29...
Haven't found anyone with the same issue yet. |
