Firefox crashes
Firefox crashes every time I close it. What happens is, I close firefox then a few minutes later I get the crash report. I have tried running firefox in safe mode, still crashes. I've tried refreshing firefox, no luck.
Reinstalling doesn't help. I did have to install using the file downloaded from the firefox website because the firefox I had been using from YUM kept defaulting to us canada or us hong kong dictionaries. The only way I could solve the dictionary problem was to reinstall. The problem started after a more recent install of firefox (i.e. the problem did not begin with the first non-yum related firefox install). I'm sorry I am terrible with the correct terms, I hope I'm not driving you all too crazy. I still have the problem if I run directly from the file (./usr/local/firefox/firefox). I also just re-downloaded the new version of firefox and ran directly from the downloads folder (.~/downloads/firefox/firefox) but still crashed after I closed. I've also tried to do a RAM test by running memtest86+, but everything passed.
I'm not sure if this is the correct way to link to the crash reports, but here are some of the more recent ones.

Remove Gstreamer from your system.
By going to about:config and changing both gstreamer options to false seems to have solved my problem. Thanks!!

Ok, I just changed the settings in firefox about:config first (then I will try untinstalling from my computer if this doesn't work). I set: media.gstreamer.enabled from true to false media.gstreamer.enabled-blacklist from true to false
You can check for issues caused by plugins and set plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page.
- plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode
Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
- "3-bar" menu button > Exit (Power button)
- Linux: File > Quit
- Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox
- Windows: File > Exit
File - Quit does not solve my problem, sorry I forgot to add it to the original list.

Are you aware of what the Gstreamer packages is used for?
If all of the Gstreamer packages is removed then the user is not able to view HTML5 videos for example.
You cannot be thinking like the Windows user you are ;)

Hi James, is there another solution?
Have you checked to see if there are updates for libgstreamer-0.10 as I think 0.10.25 is a old version from 2012 if not 2010.
The version I have on my openSUSE leap 42.1 is 0.10.36-14.2 for example.
