Bug Description
After upgrading Firefox 48.0 to Firefox 49.0, Firefox crashes on some websites.
On www.klart.se Firefox 49.0 crashes immediately. On www.tradera.com Firefox 49.0 crashes when I scroll down.
This only happens in Linux Mint 17 (17.2?), not in Ubuntu, and not in Linux Mint 18.
I use 32-bit. I do not know if this happens with 64-bit.
After reinstalling to Firefox 48.0.2, Firefox works again.
So, something is very wrong with the combination Linux Mint 17 and Firefox 49.0 (and 32-bit?)
This happens Always. I also noticed that other websites often reload themselves by itself.
I also use Swedish settings, but I do not think that matters.

I'm having the same problem.
I found Henrik talking about it via Google on a Swedish forum & followed it through to here, so thank goodness for Google Translate :)
Am in the UK & using Firefox 49 in English, so guess it's unlikely to have anything to do with the language settings.
Linux Mint 17 (qiana)
Kernel Linux 3.16.0-31-generic
MATE 1.8.1

It only crashes out on certain websites / web pages.
One is moneysavingexpe
It also affects SOME pages / links on the BBC news website [bbc.co.uk/news], but these are very random. I don't want to try it right now, 'cos if I hit one I'll get bumped-off & I don't know what will happen to this entry :?
I seem to recall yesterday it was having problems with a few of the pages / stories in the (BBC News) Football section, including the one about Alan Shearer's reaction to the Sam Allardyce fiasco, if that helps.
