this os x crash signature seems to have been introduced in firefox 42.0a2. all user comments say it happened while they were trying to log-in to a website with two comments saying they were trying to copy/paste a password into the form.

excluding shutdownhangs it's the #2 most frequent crash in 42.0a2 over all and responsible for ~20% of os x crashes at the moment.

This is a long-standing issue, unfortunately our tools can't handle the [ ] characters in the function name (bug 703102) so it always seems like there's no bug on file.

This bug has been fixed on the trunk (mozilla-central, currently the 43 branch).  See bug 1148196.  Its patch will shortly be uplifted to the 42 branch (aurora, Developer Edition).
