You can run them with strace to see if they are trying to access any pam |
| 14 |
modules, but I would think it unlikely. |

I bet this is something to do with the graphics drivers. Later versions of |
| 17 |
browsers are heavy on hardware acceleration and can stress some graphics |
| 18 |
drivers causing crashes like this. Geolocation and other pop ups use the GPU |
| 19 |
to create rendering effects and this could be the cause of the crash. |

PS. My wife's FF started crashing recently whenever she closes a single tab - |
| 22 |
but not every time. :-/ |
