Last night installed the latest, firefox-45.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64. Fired it up this morning and within the first hour it's crashed three times. That comes to it being usable for about five minutes before it crashes.
Anyone else getting this?
No such problems here.
I suggest you try testing firefox with any plugins and extensions disabled. Failing that, try "refreshing" firefox[1].
Have you installed any packages from non-standard repos? I've had some problems in the past with ffmpeg from the nux repo following a firefox upgrade (problems which were promptly fixed by the maintainer of that repo.)
WRT ffmpeg, we now have a centosplus version of firefox for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 with ffmpeg enabled.
just out of curiosity; this ffmpeg support is statically build into firefox and depends not on any library outside, right?
No, it enables Firefox to use ffmpeg that exists on the system. I use the rpms from Nux! Dextop on CentOS-7. He also has rpms for CentOS-6.
The default firefox shipped by RHEL (so also in the main CentOS repos) has ffmpeg disabled for the last several releases.
