it is the first Firefox crash I remember having that keeps happening after --safe-mode.
If you use the mozilla.org build of 52.0 do you still get a crash?
Before you try another build, try a creating and using a virgin profile.
firefox -ProfileManager
I tried with different users that never browse. Root and another plain user. Now I also tried creating the new profile, also crashes.
I've never tried. I see it is a tar, there are no instructions in the download page. How is it installed?

As with any such file, generic instructions apply:
1-choose a place for its content to live 2-extract its content 3-run it
I put such in /usr/local/ by entering its 2nd level in mc, selecting all, and hitting F5.
ok, I can do that easily.
e.g. put in /usr/local/ffe52/, /usr/local/ffnxt/, /usr/local/fftest/
e.g. to run: /usr/local/fftest/firefox -no-remote -P fftest
And does not crash!
If you'll be using it for more than just testing, you'll want to make your own menu entry for it instead of opening from a run command box or terminal.
no problem :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
