I clicked on a link to open a pdf file. I wanted to change the proposed application. The list did not contain "zathura", so I clicked on "use other" which opened a nice list where I could select different applications associated with that mimetype. I selected zathura and clicked on apply, which caused the crash.

It seems this is a regression in glib. It got fixed yesterday: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762994 I applied the patch to glib-2.48.0 and firefox-45.0.1[gtk3] doesn't trigger this crash anymore. For reference the upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1244305
This now also affect firefox-bin-46.0 as it uses gtk3. Gnome team: Do you plan to ship the patch? Or do you know about an imminent glib bugfix release?
Confirmed; added the patch in glib-2.48.0-r1: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=b5b12009bb9ee5e6ddfcceae47c3d96bd6656023 Can you please test whether applying the patch to glib-2.46.2-r2 also fixes the issue? Because I want to quickly stabilize a revision of glib with which the new firefox won't crash - and 2.46.x is a better candidate for quick stabilization.
I've got an issue while downgrading glib to 2.46.2-r2: * Package: dev-libs/glib-2.46.2-r2 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: gnome@gentoo.org * USE: abi_x86_64 amd64 dbus elibc_glibc kernel_linux mime python_targets_python2_7 userland_GNU xattr * FEATURES: distcc keeptemp preserve-libs splitdebug userpriv usersandbox * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found kernel object directory: * /lib/modules/4.5.2-gentoo/build * Found sources for kernel version: * 4.5.2-gentoo * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...

As you see this is unpatched as I first wanted to confirm te firefox-crash with original glib-2.46.2-r2. When looking for the error message I found this: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=c13b5e88c6e9c7bd2698d844cb5ed127ed809f7e (If you want I can open a new issue to keep things seperate - I just want to know if this really is an issue.)
emerge -C glib helped (looks like #580302) Unpatched glib-2.46.2-r2 crashes firefox. The same patch also applies to glib-2.46.2-r2 and fixes the crash. At least for me ;)
Thanks for testing. Also OK in my tests. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=a8ee79a39dab7e2267308b7207803d9726e486f2
