I run firefox 47.0.1 and don't have that kind of problem.
Though to solve this you could try a few things :
- rebuild firefox (if you built it, instead of using the binary one) with
-ggdb CFLAG and debug USE flag, and then run it under gdb.
Then you could try to reproduce the segfault, and gdb would tell you where
it crashed (even the source files and guilty lines), and push that to
Mozilla's bugzilla and/or package maintainer to get a patch in the meantime
- at least just try to reproduce the bug, and file it to Mozilla / package
maintainer to get them to reproduce it and fix it
- or simply downgrade to the previous version. :)
Chrome hasn't the faintest customisation firefox grants us thanks to its
XML-JS-CSS UI Structure, and the quantity of modules is simply incredible
(plus it's not Google behind, that can't be anything but a plus).
