Firefox javascript crashing

I've just updated Firefox from 20.0-1 to 20.0.1-1 and now if javascript is enabled then it crashes on most websites using javascript (Facebook, BBC videos, youtube, PDF files in the built in viewer).  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Re: Firefox javascript crashing

Have you tried to disable your extensions/add-ons if you have any ? To make sure it's the new firefox version. I don't have any issue with this new version here, I have very few add-ons, that's why I'm thinking about this.

Only i686 appears to be affected and will be fixed in a couple of hours in firefox 20.0.1-2.
