Did you enable custom-cflags or custom-optimization in the use flags?
Firefox doesn't work well with it. Also, using system libs instead of
the bundled libs may add to stability problems.

And 48.0

firefox-bin 45.3.0 works fine, as does firefox-38.8.

Still need to try building with debug symbols...

Yes, the crashes were all with the standard build-from-source ebuild.

I installed firefox-bin (45.2) and it seems to work fine.  :/

Are you running all of these test with the build-from-source 
www-client/firefox ebuild? I used to do that but after not being able to 
track down the cause of some weird font-related graphics glitches, I 
settled for the binary www-client/firefox-bin package and haven't had 
problems since. I always run ~amd64 firefox-bin, currently at 47 and have 
no problems whatsoever.

Definitely recommend you try that before going for chrome.

Same behavior with 47.0.1.  Starting 47 in "safe mode" avoids the
problem, but starting 47 in normal mode with all extensions disabled
still crashes.

I downgraded to 38.8, and everyting works fine again.

I guess I'll stick with 38.8.

Or maybe it's time to switch to Chrome. :/
