Crash report from macOS 10.11.6:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/a0983ea3-45db-4931-94cb-8b5cd0190417

Firefox crashes every time when trying to load https://www.ghacks.net. I wasn't able to reproduce the crash on other websites.

This is the #2 topcrash in the Windows nightly 20190418221600,
with 82 crashes from what looks like a significantly large number
of different installations.

Seems to rather major bug, maybe commit in 1536511 should be reverted?

How sure are we that this fixed the crash? I just hit this crash in the latest nightly [EDIT: turns out I wasn't running latest nightly, sorry for my confusion]

:dholbert, the first report has buildid 20190418221600 and the second 20190417214729 and the first build with the backout is 20190422214919.
Fyi, if you've a look on the crash table on the top of this page, you can see that builds after 20190422214919 (included) don't have (at least for now) any crashes with this signature.

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Ah, thank you & sorry for my confusion/false-alarm. Indeed, latest nightly doesn't crash after all, with my STR.

(In comment 13, I had only verified that I was on latest nightly [via Help|About] after I'd crashed twice -- and it seems I'd been initially running an old build, with an old-update staged to install, which is why I was still on an old version in my second crash. Each post-crash browser-restart got me a tick closer to the latest version.)

I just hit this on TB 67.0b3 x64: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/6e673c7e-43cd-49dc-aa65-a92170190528#tab-bugzilla
Same issue?
