Comment 1

[Scoobidiver (away)]

One comment says: "Right at startup. Works on a clean profile, so I guess the problem is an add-on."

I haven't found obvious correlations.

Comment 2

[Ori Avtalion (salty-horse)]

I have the crash when starting a profile with many tabs 

Here are some tests I performed:
1) Safe mode works.
2) After disabling all extensions in safe mode, regular startup still crashes - this is with a single "restore session tab".
3) After disabling "Use hardware acceleration" in safe mode, regular startup works fine. It works fine even after I enabled all extensions.

"Use hardware acceleration" seems to be the culprit, as this is obviously an OpenGL error.

Comment 3

[Ori Avtalion (salty-horse)]

Some of the crash report comments don't crash at startup. It may be due to WebGL use, or the flash plugin using hardware acceleration (isn't that a different process?)

> Some of the crash report comments don't crash at startup.
Non-startup crashes are not related to this bug.

Comment 5

[nemo]

So, if this is a regression from bug 779019
then shouldn't vlad own this one?
I ask because I've been stuck on the nightly from 2012-08-01 due to bug #780232 which is probably this bug...

Comment 6

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

Should be fixed via bug 779786.

Comment 7

[u279076]

Adding verifyme to confirm that this crash is reproducible before and not after bug 779786 was fixed.
