webrender::render_api::Transaction::set_document_view crashes since Firefox v 101 do not happen if started with env -i
Hi. I'm experiencing Firefox crashes since version 101. I'm using (old) CentOS 7.3 with GNOME desktop environment. Interesting thing is that these crashes do not happen in KDE or XFCE desktop environments. Further, I have found that if I start Firefox with 'env -i' the crashes also do not happen. I am talking about this category of crashes: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/signature/?product=Firefox&signature=webrender%3A%3Arender_api%3A%3ATransaction%3A%3Aset_document_view&date=%3E%3D2022-05-31T12%3A36%3A00.000Z&date=%3C2022-06-07T12%3A36%3A00.000Z&_columns=date&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform&_columns=reason&_columns=address&_columns=install_time&_columns=startup_crash&_sort=-date&_sort=-version&page=1 They have all in common that some nonsensical window size was trying to be allocated (for example: Attempting to create a 28117x32840 window/document). This, however, fixes it for me (starting firefox from the terminal, shell is bash): env -i DISPLAY=:0 ./firefox/firefox I have tried it with Firefox 101 and with beta 102b4 - it's the same.

Sorry for double-posting, but I have found another way that v 101 and newer do not crash with the above mentioned error: Go to Customize Toolbar and enable Title Bar (bottom left - there's a checkbox). When Title Bar is activated, I can't get Firefox to crash, but when the Title Bar is deactivated, I can crash Firefox by simply un-maximizing the window, for example.
