Firefox crashes
I have Linux Mint. Firefox was working until the update to v46. Now it crashes on start. Tried Safe mode, but crashes. Tried Refresh Firefox, but still crashes. Tried uninstall then re-install and still crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the crash reporter info below: SafeMode: 0 SecondsSinceLastCrash: 808 StartupTime: 1462182013 TelemetryEnvironment: {"build":{"applicationId":"{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}", "applicationName":"Firefox","architecture":"x86-64","buildId": "20160421124000","version":"46.0","vendor":"Mozilla","platformVersion"

hi, are you using the Oxygen GTK theme? if so, you might be experiencing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268185 unfortunately...

I'm have the KDE distro, but may have been using the Oxygen theme. Sorry, I don't remember.
philipp, looks like this bug has been fixed. Correct me if I am wrong. Btw, nice to see you.
maxegonatl,
If you are using the Oxygen theme in KDE4, then you are experiencing a bug. KDE reported this bug as well and as been fixed. For reference, do not comment in bug reports
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331020
- https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=oxygen-gtk.git&a=shortlog&h=vgtk3-1.3.4
Technical info from bug report regarding fix (for searching later)
This is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331020 which was fixed in https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=oxygen-gtk.git&a=shortlog&h=vgtk3-1.3.4 Ubuntu have back-ported the fix [1], and so crash rates should be dropping. Fedora took the fix long ago. [2] The oxygen-gtk engine was assuming that the cairo_context_t passed to gtk_render_frame() is the same as previously passed with a "draw" signal emission on the widget. The rendering API was designed to not even need a widget [3] and so Gecko does not emit a "draw" signal on a widget. The engine registers an "OxygenVersionContainer" type with "VersionString" qdata, so it would possible to detect old versions and switch to a fallback theme, but we wouldn't know whether old versions have a back-ported fix.

Fixed by Ubuntu and not by Mozilla. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1575781
Those who prefer GTK2 and GTK2 Themes on LTS distros (the latest GTK 3 they may get on those distros is the minimum 3.4) could consider using Firefox 45 ESR. The last update for this ESR branch will be 45.8.x ESR unless Mozilla extends it. It only gets allow security and stability fixes. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/
By the time Firefox 45 ESR is EOL the LTS distros could be using GTK 3 as norm.
