I see similar problems. Out of the blue, firefox crashes.
But in my case, firefox is "old", since it doesn't compile with WITH_LLD_IS_LD due to a
very strange error (Bug 218808).

The binary I run und CURRENT (FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #8 r319001: Sun May 28 00:21:16 CEST
2017 amd64, WITH_LLD_IS_LD=yes) if as of

firefox-53.0_2,1
Name           : firefox
Version        : 53.0_2,1
Installed on   : Sun Apr 16 10:17:14 2017 CEST
Origin         : www/firefox
Architecture   : FreeBSD:12:amd64

I got a kind of relief (means: the frequence of crashes is reduced) when starting to
rebuild all ports again (I'm staying with make and portmaster) to meet ABI requirements
after ino64 has been introduced.

Another strange behaviour is: firefox crashes very likely very often when started. Once
it has run a while, I can consider it "stable". It doen not crash then.
