Since version 40 I've been experiencing apparently random crashes in Firefox, typically when opening a link in a new tab. I've rebuilt it with debug symbols and produced a couple of ~1.5GB core files. Backtraces from gdb as follows:

I'm running Gentoo Linux x86-64 using gcc 4.9.3 (no crazy optimization flags). No real experience using gdb, but happy to try and extract any further information given a suitable incantation.

It does not look like the previous latest version is stable either:

That is just on place the packages it for your operating system. Currently Firefox for Linux is packaged by one version.
