This is the same symptom as if an ARMv7 binary is used on ARMv6, IIRC, but this is an ARMv7 device (Snapdragon MSM8230).

Yes, installed and updated from Google Play. Previous version 25.0 was not crashing. Not sure if it helps, but here is a screenshot of the crash. The blank area in the background appears briefly then disappears, then only the popup is kept displayed.

Not reproducible in Firefox Beta 26.0 from Play Store. I also have fixed the problem by reinstalling stable release (25.0.1). I have then restored the app data from a backup performed right before reinstalling, using a Sony utility. All of my settings look just ok like they were before, and the crash is gone. So I think data corruption is not the case, also something in the reinstall process did the trick. Thus the problem is fixed for me and it's up to you guys whether to close this bug or not. Thanks!
