Hello,
If you are facing simillar issue on Mint 17.2 and FF 39, for me solution
was to compile FF 40 from scratches. I'm not sure why but FF40 from
packages was not working :(
# if you didn't compile anything before
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep fdupes
# unfortunately on my side FF was still asking to install gstreamer, so finally
I've choose everything from gstreamer*dev in the name
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev libgstreamer0.10-cil-dev
# make that and wait about hour ;)
sudo apt-get -b source firefox
# remember to choose correct locale
sudo dpkg --install firefox_40.0\~b3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
firefox-globalmenu_40.0\~b3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
firefox-mozsymbols_40.0\~b3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
firefox-locale-[YOUR_LOCALE]_40.0\~b3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
I've test it on two different PCs with Mint 17.2 and crash issue gone.
Regards
