Dear Firefox maintainers, We have several users confirming this bug: https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2017/02/msg00062.html
More precisely and although I have not been able to reproduce it, it appears that for those users, firefox-esr crashes upon exit when the orca screen reader is running. The symptom that firefox crashes is the crash report window popping-up. The original bug reporter also mentioned in the thread above that he is using orca as well. Kind regards, Thibaut.
