Firefox ESR 52.8.0 crashes on some web pages. System: Odroid Xu4, Dietpi v6.8
When browsing certain web pages (example Distrowatch) the page loads fine but will crash after about a minute. When I downgrade to version 52.5.0 this problem does not exist.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player or remove.

I removed the flash player, but the problem still exists, is there other options? I would really like to have the most recent version of ESR. Here are some more crash reports.

I don't know Linux. That said, one of the programs flagged in the crash reports is; libxul.so = Firefox +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let’s do a full clean re-install;
