[Bug 1539284] [NEW] Firefox 44.0 repeatedly crashes on ARMHF

 

Public bug reported:

(First off, I did try to use ubuntu-bug, as well as collecting info with
apport-cli then submitting with ubuntu-bug.  The several automated bug
reports I filed just hung up, launchpad claimed it was processing the
report and refreshed for over an hour.)

Running firefox_43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_armhf is running fine.
44.0+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 repeatedly crashes.

 I tried removing all my extensions (first in Firefox 44, but it crashed
loading the about:addons), then manually (moving them out of extensions
directory).  No help.  I restored my profile from a backup, went to
Ubuntu 43.0.4 and uninstalled the extensions there.    Upon upgrade to
Ubuntu 44.0, it crashes repeatedly with no extensions.  One crash did
indicate a floating point exception, the rest just inidcated "signal
11".

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.4 for ARMHF on a Acer Chromebook 13.  This has
a Tegra K1, a quad-core ARM with an Nvidia video card with 192-core CUDA
unit (the GK20A is closest in specs to a Geforce GT720 or so.)

Let me know if you want more information.  Thanks!
