As of Firefox 36, disabling OMTC causes random crashes in Firefox. This is particularly concerning, as THIS very support site (support.mozilla.org) has "please try disabling OMTC" as a common suggestion for a number of screen rendering issues. I think that going forward, asking people to "try disabling OMTC" will only WORSEN the issue, as a catastrophic Firefox crash which could cause loss of data is much worse than a screen rendering glitch.

To be clear, I am referring to the following setting in about:config:

layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = FALSE
