Running in gdb, I see:

Any crash reports in the page about:crashes?
If not, could you give a better stacktrace if possible:

Unfortunately, I can't run the stock binary of firefox under CentOS 6.9, since it requires GTK3.  I'm using the distribution-supplied binary.  I've submitted a bug report on the CentOS bugzilla:

https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=13412

Also, doing some more experimenting, I find that this only seems to affect the 32-bit CentOS firefox binaries, not the 64-bit.

But, all of that seems moot now:  CentOS released an updated binary on June 16 (firefox-52.2.0-1) that seems to have fixed the problem.
