I've already reported an earlier crash that I've been getting with the nightlies
(Bug #302355) and this is another one that I've seen quite often - about one
every two or three hours. The stack seems to be JS-related, also.

These crashes started occurring around the same time as Bug #302355's crashes
started (maybe about a week or so by now?).

The problem is I can't seem to find a consistently reproducible testcase. If I
can, I'll post an update.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Oh, and this occurs with a brand new profile, too.

Arg. I shouldn't have entered "background" in the name of this bug - crashes
occur in the backgound as well as when Firefox is active. Sorry!

[timeless]

bug 293902 among others relates to crashing in js_FinalizeObject

actually both this and your bug 302355 are crashes under js_FinalizeObject, i'd
presume they're the same crash.

Neil, are you still seeing this crash? Do you have any talkback incident ids?
