CentOS - Dec 2016 - firefox-45.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 crashing... unusable

Last night installed the latest, firefox-45.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.  
Fired it up this morning and within the first hour it's crashed three 
times.  That comes to it being usable for about five minutes before it 
crashes.

Anyone else getting this?

For what it's worth, in my normal browsing since the update I have not 
experienced any crashing.

Hello,

No such problems here.

I suggest you try testing firefox with any plugins and extensions
disabled. Failing that, try "refreshing" firefox[1].

Have you installed any packages from non-standard repos? I've had some
problems in the past with ffmpeg from the nux repo following a firefox
upgrade (problems which were promptly fixed by the maintainer of that
repo.)

WRT ffmpeg, we now have a centosplus version of firefox for CentOS-6 and
CentOS-7 with ffmpeg enabled.
