Can confirm this behaviour on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm using Firefox 39 with only one addon (ublock origin) and all plugins either disabled or set to ask for permission to run. Experiencing crashes in both Firefox 39 and Firefox 40 Developer Edition, but Firefox 38 is fine.
Playing flashplayer video for 0 - 20 seconds is a guaranteed way to crash Firefox 39, but it also can happen on pages with no flash content and with flashplayer completely disabled. In fact, it can even happen on pages with no HTML content at all (eg. a .png image) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1474003 Title: Firefox 39 keeps crashing Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Firefox 39 keeps crashing after update from Firefox 38. Crashes are random but when idle happens at least once a hour or more frequently when actively used. When replaced with binaries from Mozilla there is no problems at same machine with same profile. There are at least 1100 identical reports and they seems to be unique for Ubuntu build.
