Firefox crashes

Hello,

Firefox (32.0) keeps crashing after a certain period of time, usually after at least 5-8h. We have a fairly complex application, written in JavaScript, but most of the communication with the web server was cut for the purpose of the test; sadly, Firefox crashes randomly with the same call stack. Here are 3 examples of crash reports:

bp-367541bf-a6c2-4e80-93a4-e18592140915 bp-a287782f-6262-41e1-befe-f1fc42140908 bp-25fdc053-800f-4934-9877-44dd02140905

When it crashes, the memory and CPU consumption seem steady, e.g. they do not spike over time; thus, we have no real lead as to what might be causing this crash.

I would very much appreciate your help to at least understand what can cause such a problem.

Looks like your app in javascript is testing the memory of Firefox. The JIT compliler is running the script and crashing. I am not an expert as to what that stack signature means, but you could try to toggle the jit in the about:config to see.

Or to optimize the javascript performance: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Creating_JavaScript_tests

Try also asking a mdn developer in stackoverflow.com.

The most we can do here is suggest memory management: Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix and JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages

Hey thanks for answering! Actually, the application is executing some periodic tasks and the RAM is not increasing very much over time, so some sort of memory leak is not very likely.

That's just the thing, it's very strange that Firefox crashes but the CPU load and memory consumption is not fluctuating very much.
