I am using Firefox version 43.0.1 on Arch Linux updated today) with kernel version 4.2.5-1 . I am using XFCE as my desktop environment. Ever since about 1 week ago, I have had an issue where firefox crashes anytime I try to move a tab. This issue persists in safe mode, after restart, and after removing and reinstalling the package. Does anyone know of a solution?
