Bug Description

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
OS: 16.04
Firefox package version: 55.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

After updating Firefox from version 52.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 it crashes on startup with a segmentation fault:

$ firefox
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 2625
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

Running in gdb with new profile and safe-mode doesn't work as well:

$ firefox -g -P foobar --safe-mode
