No backtrace?
Sorry, but we cannot do anything without the actual error message (backtrace).
this is most likely being caused by hwaccel, please run `firefox -safe-mode` and report back if you can duplicate the segfault.
firefox --safe-mode still results in segfault, albeit the stack trace is a bit shorter (37 calls in libxul). I did not include the backtrace because it's pretty useless without debugging info: Thread 27 "DOM Worker" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

actually strace -f firefox would be more helpful then gdb.
firefox built with USE=-lto works OK.
*** Bug 680990 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The issue persists in 66.0.1. I'll try to get the debug build soon for a complete stack trace.
Rebuild with USE=+lto,+debug did not help much. Here's a gdb session: Reading symbols from firefox...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

The backtrace produced by firefox still does not include symbol infomration. Running firefox in gdb or connecting to a crashed instance (firefox sleeps for 5 mins waiting for a gdb connection), gdb either crashes (Assertion failure on source language), or eats up all system memory (including swap) and dies slow swapping death after producing a single line of trace. The single line is usleep.
try to set this via env: FEATUES="splitdebug" CFLAGS="-ggdb" CXXFLAGS="-ggdb" the firefox ebuild does some really adavanced kungfu to detect funnny/broken cflags, and it might be that it strips the debug cflags. Last time I tried with CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -ggdb" it appended -ggdb six or seven times in a row, which can't be correct. Also, if you're having memory problems at compile or debugin time, go for CFLAGS="-g" first, -ggdb is really verbose and hardware demanding. libxul.so.debug was something around 600mb last time I tried. Basically, you should end up with a package that installs all of the normal package files, plus the stripped debug files in /usr/lib/debug/ Also you might want to try to set the appropiate -march CFLAG instead of -march=native, as this has caused trouble on some systems with gcc-8
I got the same but rebuilding cbinder and firefox with -lto fixed it. USE=dbus gmp-autoupdate hwaccel pulseaudio screenshot startup-notification system-av1 system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx system-sqlite system-webp

I tried rebuilding using cbindgen[+debug], the build took longer and needed more disk space (~24 GB). The results are mostly the same. firefox bt does not print symbols. running within gdb-8.1-r1 results in: [New Thread 0x7fffd7506700 (LWP 5542)] Assertion failure: !locale.IsEmpty(), at /home/portage/portage/www-client/firefox-66.0.2/work/firefox-66.0.2/intl/locale/LocaleService.cpp:529 #01: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x51307c2] #02: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x513086c] #03: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x4b13e21] #04: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x520ce1e] #05: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x5216577] #06: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x1f85d1e] #07: ???[/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so +0x20c4002] #08: ???[/usr/bin/firefox +0x269bc] #09: ???[/usr/bin/firefox +0xadd4] #10: __libc_start_main[/lib64/libc.so.6 +0x2375b] #11: _start[/usr/bin/firefox +0xaeba] #12: ???

The same problem with recently built Firefox 71.0 using GCC 9.2.0 and lto enabled. % firefox zsh: segmentation fault firefox Rebuilding without lto use flag fixed the issue.
Somebody just hit this on #gentoo with USE=debug. No LTO. They were able to fix with USE=-debug. It looks like htere's an actual fix available suggested on the Mozilla bugtracker [0]: >The assert (or even most of the body) should be in >an #ifdef MOZ_UPDATER, since >update.locale is not packaged >when the updater is disabled >https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/ddb81c7a43ffada1f6cb4200c4f625e50e44dcf3/browser/installer/package-manifest.in#59-62 >Alternatively, update.locale should unconditionally be >added to the package (even if the updater is disabled). https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497581#c5 I have their emerge --info etc locally.
I am closing this as obsolete given that 68.x was removed from repository. If you still see this with 78.3 or later, please re-open or file a new bug.
This issue is still unresolved in Gentoo's firefox-78.4.1-esr: With USE=debug firefox reports a failed assertion on start up (locale not set). Also, with "debug" included, it fails to build unless "-system-av1" is set also (because system libaom includes are missing #define AOM_PLANE_ALPHA). The primary reason I bother to report this are segfaults in libxul.so when the proprietary NVIDIA drivers are in use (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers) and running in a firejail sandbox.
