gdb output is for "info threads", "thread apply all bt" and "thread apply all bt full".

I can confirm that this is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1136417 . Compiling x11-libs/cairo without "xlib-xcb" in USE is a valid workaround.

Thanks, _AxS_, for helping on this! :)

[Comment 3 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2015-07-23 18:30:32 UTC]

Leaving open since it's a random issue which may depend on lots of random factors.  However, xlib-xcb on cairo has its own bug 441878 tracking issues with and without that flag.

[Comment 4 Gino McCarty 2016-01-10 17:25:17 UTC]

I have this bug on firefox-43, not sure how to fix, very annoying

[Comment 5 Claudio Roberto França Pereira 2016-04-01 03:36:06 UTC]

I have read about this bug elsewhere and I remember it being related to some color transition effects (degradè/crossfading) used on the about:newtab page, and not present on about:blank.

[Comment 6 Jory A. Pratt 2017-08-26 17:56:48 UTC]

If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system.

Thank You for your support and understanding
