[SOLVED] firefox freezes with linux 3.14.*

I have a lot of freezes in firefox with the new kernel.

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fffe0aff700 (LWP 12195)]
0x00007ffff7bcdefb in send () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
(gdb) bt
Python Exception <class 'gdb.MemoryError'> Cannot access memory at address 0x7fffe0afeac8: 
#0  0x00007ffff7bcdefb in send () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
Cannot access memory at address 0x7fffe0afeac8

With linux-lts, there no problems at all. I saw this report but i dont think is related to the futex race issue.

Any help appreciated.

What makes you think it's not related to that bug report?

I've experienced a TON of freezes in Firefox in the past week, which most likely is related to the bug report that you posted. I didn't know about that bug report though, so a few days ago I tried "fixing" Firefox by creating a new Firefox profile. Whether it was the new profile or something else I don't know, but I haven't seen it crash since.

Re: [SOLVED] firefox freezes with linux 3.14.*

because the report opener said that those freezes fixed with the 'futex' patch (included in 3.14-5).

As he says:

for those who have again problems despite the patch it means probably that there are another bugs further in the source code of kernel 3.14, bugs who are not necessarily related to the "futex problem"

i will try a clean profile, thanks.
