In fact simple Ctrl + O crashes the browser immediately.

Something is wrong with GTK save/open file dialog.

I have tested your issue on latest Firefox release v52 and latest Nightly (Build ID: 20170313110417) on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and could not reproduce it. I have followed the steps from comment 0 and tried also with other webpages like www.dropbox.com or www.drive.google.com, but all files are successfully saved. Unfortunately I do not have a CentOS 7.0 64 machine and I am unable to test exactly the scenario provided.

Can you please retest this using latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/AR5o9d). 

I will assign a possible related component. Maybe someone with a similar machine could provide some feedback for this issue.

Firefox nightly with a completely new profile (~/.mozilla had been removed prior to starting Firefox):

If the distribution has not applied a patch for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762994
then this is likely a duplicate of bug 1244305.

RHEL might never fix this bug so here's a workaround:

ui.allow_platform_file_picker = false

Comment 6

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

I've filed a bug report against RHEL 7.3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432339

Closing because no crash reported since 12 weeks.

Yes, it surely looks like zero CentOS 7/RHEL 7 users aside from me use the official Firefox distribution and perhaps all others use RPMs but that that doesn't solve the bug.

:Artem, the two reports you mentioned have signature "libglib-2.0.so.0.5400.2@0x503f1" which is different from what we've in the signature field.
If it's the same issue, please update the signature field to add this one.

Actually I'm not sure if it's the same issue or not, but the last two reported (must be three now - I accidentally tried to upload a file a few seconds ago) crashes contain the valid signature which is what this bug report is about. Please adjust the value yourself because I'm not sure how to do that properly.
