Haven't been able to crash yet, but I do get this exception in the Error Console: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://people.mozilla.org/~vladimir/canvas3d/examples/modelview/offview.js :: handleLoad :: line 115"  data: no]

I've encountered the above exception (or one that looked much like it), and here's some things to check, to make sure canvas3d has been built and is enabled:
 - Build with "ac_add_options --enable-canvas3d" in your .mozconfig file
 - Set "extensions.canvas3d.enabled_for_all_sites" to true in your prefs.js file

Can you retry now? The crash is likely to have been fixed since last year...
