Comment 1

[libeclipse]

Firefox version: 45.0.2
OS: Arch Linux (linux 4.4.5-1)

Comment 2

[Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)]

The crash doesn't reproduce here, so we need a stack trace of the crash to have a chance of addressing this.

If the Firefox build came from Mozilla, then it should have prompted to submit a crash report.  Can you get that from about:crashes, please?

If the Firefox build came from Arch, then best to first file a bug with them.  They may have their own crash reporting advice, and can redirect to the appropriate project when they have more information.
