report bp-222af172-db84-4c2d-a614-4d0ba2140808.
=============================================================


When scrolling or navigating to Google+ this happens for many Linux users, help needed for further investigation.
This is with GStreamer Fluendo MP3 codec apparently, so it's pretty surely in Audio/Video code, moving there.
Component: General → Video/Audio
Product: Firefox → Core
I thought we blacklisted the Fluendo codec? Or maybe only the AAC one.
This bug affected me every time i start firefox for the first time on every boot. My OS is ubuntu 14.04. I stop having this problem when i purged "gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3" package. Since that day, i haven't had another crash.
This is climbing to the #13 top crash for Firefox 34. It seems Linux-specific. The crash stack doesn't have much information.  It is often but not always a startup crash.   I notice that it first appeared 2014-10-31 and is appearing on older version of Firefox as well as 34, from 30 on up to 34. Not yet appearing in 35-37 though. That makes me think it is a problem independent of Firefox.

I have been using firefox for one and a half month without any problems after i purged "gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3" package from Ubuntu. I don't know if it affects other linux distributions, but that solve the problem for me. It was a very annoying bug...

Yes. This is a crash in the MP3 decoder that is available on some Ubuntu Linux systems.

Probably caused by people who restart after a crash and restore the tab that provoked the crash.
There are a ton of crash reports with the signature [@ @0x0 | libgstflump3dec.so@0xeaea]

It's one of the top Linux crashers.
This may be a duplicate of bug 981869
Adding the slightly different signature as noted in comment 7.
Crash Signature: [@ @0x0 | libgstflump3dec.so@0xeaeb] → [@ @0x0 | libgstflump3dec.so@0xeaeb] [@ @0x0 | libgstflump3dec.so@0xeaea ]
It isn't the topcrash range for Firefox 36; there are around 600 crashes reported with this signature in the last week for both 35 and 36. Looks like the problem may be fixed in Firefox 37.
status-firefox36: --- → affected
status-firefox37: --- → unaffected
status-firefox38: --- → unaffected
I think this can be closed as a duplicate of bug 981869. The fix for that bug also fixed this.
Component: Audio/Video → Audio/Video: Playback
There still aren't any crashes with these signatures past Firefox 36, so I'm closing this bug as a duplicate as mentioned in comment 11.
