Using a clean profile, whenever I open a website that tries to access my location Firefox pops-up a dialog asking if I want to "share my location". When I click "share my location", Firefox crashes. This can be reproduced with both www-client/firefox-bin-45.9.0 and www-client/firefox-bin-52.5.0 (probably any versions in between too). Crash report for 45.9: https://paste.debian.net/plainh/9f2f2ec5 I also have an strace trace, not sure if it's of any use. These are the last 5 lines: poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=24, events=POLLIN}], 3, 0) = 0 (Timeout) recvmsg(4, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=24, events=POLLIN}], 3, 0) = 0 (Timeout) futex(0x7f951b86198c, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0x7f951b861988, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0, FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1}) = 1 +++ exited with 11 +++ I also ran it with Valgrind. The output after the crash is large, and can be found here: https://paste.debian.net/plainh/2dcad969 The summary valgrind gives is: ==13048== Thread 51 Wifi Monitor: ==13048== Invalid read of size 8 ==13048== at 0xDF4981B: dbus_connection_set_exit_on_disconnect (in /usr/lib64/libdbus-1.so.3.14.8) ==13048== by 0x8A0BF69: ???

Click "Share my location" Actual Results: Firefox crashes with SIGSEGV Expected Results: Firefox does not crash and hopefully shares the location Ask if you need it
firefox-bin package comes from mozilla upstream, feel free to open a bug report there and cc the mozilla herd on the bug report.
