[arch-general] Firefox crashes randomly

[Zorro]

Hi,

Firefox 62.0 runs fine on my Arch system.

Though I once encountered a similar issue as you describe.
I didn't allocate enough space for shared memory (/dev/shm) and that caused then such crashes.

In your case seems the 2 firefox child instances cannot communicate with the parent instance through a pipe.

Maybe worth checking the shared memory.

Regards,
Harm-Jan Zwinderman
