Package: firefox
Version: 60.0.2-1

Firefox does not run at all:

$ firefox -h
Segmentation fault


Running under the debugger doesn't show the source of the problem:

$ gdb firefox.real

Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)


Firefox version 61.0~b8-1 from experimental also has the same crash
and the same stack trace corruption signature.


This problem and a similar stack trace corruption signature (different
library but same identical stack frame) are reported here:

The relevant Mozilla bug report seems to be this one (although the
title says Arm64 the specific comment is 32-bit):
