As of today, after firefox grabbed the 38.0.1 update, it always crashes when I open up gmail. Presumably this is on the GoogleTalkPlugin. Independently of this, firefox also always crashes when trying to play any Vimeo video or SoundCloud audio. This has been going on since 37.x; I have been using firefox in a crippled mode by just avoiding webpages that have Vimeo or SoundCloud embedded (although that itself is an annoyance). With gmail unusable though, I am dead in the water.
Here are the last couple of crash report ids:
bp-578d7064-e126-4413-8e9f-82d3a2150519 05/19/2015 11:08 AM
bp-66d56b45-c6db-4b97-a1d5-a28832150429 04/29/2015 11:24 AM
Starting firefox in safe mode causes the same crash. Last few log lines in the console are:
(firefox:27889): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_plugin_feature_get_name: assertion `GST_IS_PLUGIN_FEATURE (feature)' failed
