Today we started getting multiple reports from users of Bitdefender that all tabs of their Firefox started crashing (without producing a proper mozilla crash report):

Radu, has there been any recent change in Bitdefender or signature update that could explain this - could you look into the matter?

Thx for letting me know. I'll look into the problem and let you know what I find out.

Issue was apparently on us and was affecting users of Bitdefender AV free. We pushed an update about 2 hours ago with the fix. You should see a drop in crashes as update propagates across market.

Thank you again for letting me know!
Radu

Great, thank you for the quick update!
