After recent upgrades, Mozilla® Firefox® 49.0 has been extremely temperamental, and a new User Profile build did not help. I captured the following from GNOME® Terminal; a start from the Profile Manager yielded the following:


Vector smash protection is enabled.
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 16951
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

Does a Bug already exist here for Firefox 49 at Launchpad; and if so, at which number?

I've not noticed any problems using Firefox 49 in Ubuntu 16.04.

Anyway, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 is a list of bugs reported on Launchpad against Firefox, sorted with the newest bugs first.

I'll leave you to peruse the list. :)

Noted, and already tagged onto Bug 1612994 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1612994), as I have the same issue with 48.0 as with 49.0; doubtless the same line(s) of code in MessageChannel.cpp are involved. The Mozilla® Crash Reporter had the following detail for one such crash, indicating a conflict between an unknown number of Extensions I routinely use and the E10S procedure(s):

Update: The problems were eventually traced to hardware: The Hot Rod's Advanced Micro Devices® Athlon64® X2 5600+, which has served me through four LTS Dist-Upgrades, has finally hurled - bad memory manager. As of 9 December 2016, I'm running with the same manufacturer's Athlon64® 3500+ until I have an upgrade CPU for the ASUS® CM1630-06, whose stock Athlon II® X2 220 (which has the same clocks as the recently-failed X2 5600+) has a greater load of Processes under Microsoft® Windows® 10 Build 1607 10.0.14393.451 than under Windows ® Se7en™ Service Pack 1 6.1.7601.569; I estimate the Phenom II® X4 840 to have the reserves necessary. The X2 220 should be well able to take up where the X2 5600+ left the rails.... [-o<

Considering the Bug tag no longer needed.
