Current versions of LLVM-FFMPEG-FireFox now handle SIMD correctly on i386. For reference. These were hiccups from transitioning from a 4-byte aligned stack to a 16-byte aligned stack. As most people are using AMD64 which assumes 16-byte alignment these issues were only showing up on 4-byte aligned i386 systems when calling SIMD which required 16-byte alignment. Newer compiler versions and processor targets handled alignment mismatches better, which is why the crashes were primarily occuring on processors without newer instruction sets and where legacy code from different compiler versions got linked. (For port builds, "portupgrade -fa" with the updated compiler may shake some of that out.)
