Donal suspects this crash is a regression from bug 1817997, which has been been backed out. So hopefully this crash then will go away.

:padenot, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1817997, could you take a look?

It would be useful to see the crash report for this to see if it matches the regressors on Bug 1817997.
Most likely is the same, but tracking this for 115 just in case.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The bug is marked as tracked for firefox115 (nightly). We have limited time to fix this, the soft freeze is in 10 days. However, the bug still isn't assigned.

:amoya, could you please find an assignee for this tracked bug? Given that it is a regression and we know the cause, we could also simply backout the regressor. If you disagree with the tracking decision, please talk with the release managers.
