Attachment: firefox sigpipe crash 01 GDB backtrace

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150827075926

Steps to reproduce:

While browsing normally current firefox 40 seems to crash quite a lot. I've gotten these SIGPIPE crashes many times during last few days. No exact steps to reproduce, it happens randomly.

I'm running Firefox 40 on Fedora 22 x86_64, current version is:
firefox-40.0.3-1.fc22.x86_64



Actual results:


Firefox crashes. Output from GDB:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fffd9cfe700 (LWP 10240)]
0x00007ffff7bcfa2f in __libc_send (fd=52, buf=buf@entry=0x7fff9b887000, n=n@entry=37, 
    flags=flags@entry=0) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/send.c:31
31        ssize_t result = INLINE_SYSCALL (sendto, 6, fd, buf, n, flags, NULL,
(gdb) 

I'll attach full GDB backtrace aswell.



Expected results:


Firefox shouldn't crash.

Does it crash with the official build of Firefox?

Testing the stock firefox binary now.. I'll report back.

It seems the version of Firefox built by Mozilla (the official binary) works better, and I haven't gotten crashes with the stock version yet. So it seems to be a bug specific to Fedora build of Firefox.
