Hi, I managed to reproduce this issue as well on Firefox Release 66.0.3 but I'm not sure if it happens on Nightly as well I tried running the command from my Nightly folder but it still opens the Release version, can you Please try our latest nightly and see if the issue still occurs there as well ? you can find the build here : https://nightly.mozilla.org/

Sorry I wish to stick to Debian sid versions only, currently 66.0.5-1.

I cannot use browser normally with such things, because when i try to open new tab (by actually openning it or by clicking on any link in already opened tab) in some cases it will open white empty page (no home page about:home loaded) and without any available interaction - i cannot copy address from address bar with Ctrl-C, any changes in address bar ignored, force reload does not help, too.

I was experiencing this issue on Firefox 70.01 for Ubuntu 19.10 and decided to update to Firefox Beta (now running 71.0b9) which has the same error:

I don't remember experiencing this on earlier versions of Firefox before 70.1.

Same issue here. KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu 18.04), Firefox 70.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, Linux 5.3.0-23-generic, xserver-xorg-core-hwe-18.04 2:1.20.4-1ubuntu3~18.04.1).
On average once in a day or two my firefox just freezes with this errors in console

Hi,
This looks like a concurrency bug and you can reproduce it easily using this thread schedule fuzzing wrapper attached here. Compile it and use it with LD_PRELOAD when running firefox binary. I hope this helps to find the cause of this bug faster.

I was able to reproduce this bug with the help of this wrapper in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Running 71.0 on Arch Linux and getting similar issues. I also noticed that some tabs don't redraw correctly and I have to restart the browser
