optirun crashes Firefox's about:support

I have bumblebee installed as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee
Few months ago, everything was working fine. I used both firefox and optirun firefox successfully, the latter to run Unity3D content. I check the status of GPU acceleration using about:support (Intel/Mesa in the former, Nvidia in the latter).
However, recently it seems to have broken. I update frequently, so I'm not sure which update broke it. Unity3D content crashes the tab with optirun, and when I check about:support Firefox crashes.

Is anyone else facing similar issues? I've pasted some relevant info below. Thanks!

// Firefox without optirun, GPU section of about:support

GPU #1
Active	Yes
Description	Intel Open Source Technology Center -- Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2) 
Vendor ID	Intel Open Source Technology Center
Device ID	Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2) 
Driver Version	3.0 Mesa 18.2.2

// Firefox with optirun, about:support crashes with following error

[edit] As an added example, under https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc … chnologies, with plain Firefox, I can run the Kai Opua demo just fine, but with optirun Firefox, I get 'Gah your tab just crashed'

Re: optirun crashes Firefox's about:support

I am facing the same problem. Firefox running with optirun causes its Tabs to get crashed more frequently and the Help -> Troubleshooting information also causes it to crash.
The firefox crash report marks it as

MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT(mWorkerThread == GetCurrentVirtualThread()) (not on worker thread!)
Notes: FP(D00-L1000-W00000000-T000) OpenGL: NVIDIA Corporation -- GeForce 920MX/PCIe/SSE2 -- 4.6.0 NVIDIA 410.66 -- texture_from_pixmap
WR? WR- OMTP? OMTP- WebGL? libGL.so.1? libGL.so.1+ GL Context? GL Context+ WebGL+

Re: optirun crashes Firefox's about:support

Same issue here, it freezes sometimes too. It works flawlessly with primusrun anyway.
