[SOLVED] Firefox Segmentation fault

Hello,

Since some weeks (months?) i am having a problem of Segmentation fault in my Firefox. My machine is completely stable in other applications, but with Firefox, the error occur almost frequently, specially in sites with media, like YouTube.

I tried already to run firefox without any add-on, with a new user to certificate that is not a configuration/plugin that i made.

The output when i run in the terminal is:

(process:1994): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
libva info: VA-API version 0.38.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_35
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I tried to debug with gdb, and the end of the core dump is this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fffa995c700 (LWP 3090)]
0x00007ffff6ea82a6 in __memcpy_avx_unaligned () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6

I don't have a experience Debugging Segmentation Faults, i kind of lost here, i would appreciate some directions...

My system specs:

Intel i5 4690k (microcode installed)
4.1.10-3-ck and 4.2.2.1 (both tested with the same problem)
Nvidia 355.11-1
Firefox 41.0.1-1

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox Segmentation fault

Uninstall gstreamer-vaapi it is unstable and pretty much useless/not necessary on non intel graphics setups
