Hi, I have FF 33.1.1 and Mac OS X 10.9.5.

I have a couple of dozen RSS feeds in an external RSS reader (Vienna) and whenever I go to open a CSM feed .. and just a CSM feed .. Firefox crashes. Gather it is something to do with CSM, but only references I can find date back a couple of years !?

Grateful for any advice on what the problem is/might be/

Thanks

I tried this feed: http://rss.csmonitor.com/feeds/csm?format=xml and tried with Live Bookmarks. It says the Tab crashed and I can tell Mozilla about it.

I found the bug where there is a patch being worked on. However this is also happening in Nightly and e10s which may be a separate issue.

I have also tried to add it to version 34 of Firefox, which is now in beta and it did not crash. If you would like to re-add the feed a second time, there is a subscribe button that has been added in the customize options of the Firefox Menu. This would test if the live feed bookmark has become corrupt or confirm that it is indeed a variation of this bug
