It repeatedly crashes. I can't start it in safe-mode. And even telling it to start with ProfileManager doesn't work. The problem doesn't appear to be profile related. When I start it from the command line, I get the following output before receiving the error popup: > > $ firefox > > (firefox-esr:5793): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed > ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 5815 > ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child > ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... > > The popup I receive every time is the firefox error box.

ABORT: Aborting on channel error.: file /build/firefox- esr-52.2.0esr/ipc/glue/MessageChannel.cpp, line 2152 That happen also with all extentions stopped and reinitialised profile. I hope a fix very soon as Firefox is totally unusable. For that reason I suggest to mark the bug as important.
