Steps to reproduce:

Expected results:

No crash

Crash Signature: ID: e6651635-42e6-4ebc-b76d-8b9ae0191011 Signature: std::terminate

This is a recent (few weeks) but consistent crash.

The stack seems to indicate a potential problem in MacOSX .

I tried disabling plugins & add-ons.

It seems that it was crashing earlier this year. The first crash I submitted was on Firefox 65.0 ID: 9e48c005-17c7-4c67-b69b-ea5990190322.
Back then the issue wasn't 100% reproducible.

First crash on Firefox 69 for me seems to be: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/de45bd63-63a9-4a9c-9de8-2efbe0190916 on the 16th of September and since then Google Meet stopped working entirely for me.

I thought it could have been related to a software update but

  • Mac OS X 10.14.6 was installed in Augusts
    2019-08-29 13:38:50+02 MB-JL-2019 system_installd[40195]: Installed "macOS 10.14.6 Update" ( )
  • Install time of Firefox 69 for me is 2019-09-04 08:24:49.

And according to my Firefox history I used Meet on the 4th and 9th of September and Firefox didn't crash.

Not sure what changed from the 16th.

I believe I found the root of the issue. The CamTwist camera MacOSX plugin was causing crashes. I removed it and all seems fine.
It was weird because the first time I accessed a Google Meeting from a new profile, it worked. But the second time it started crashing again. See crash f4ed3d82-8c1b-482f-831e-ab7d90191011

I believe this can then be closed.

Resolving as WFM based on Comment 3.
