48.0a2 (developer edition) Segmentation fault (core dumped) Ubuntu 15.10

[rudenoise]

Unsure whether this is related to the apt-package or the firfox developer edition build.

Added bug report with Mozilla too: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1272246

Steps to reproduce:

I have FireFox Developer installed via apt ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora

Using ThinkPad x250 i5

Performed update/upgrade last night.

Actual results:

firefox fails to launch:

[4819] ###!!! ABORT: JS_InitWithFailureDiagnostic: u_init() failed: file /build/firefox-S3Cgxu/firefox-48.0~a2~hg20160509r318685/xpcom/build/XPCOMInit.cpp, line 709

Expected results:

firefox should start up as normal

Installing via the package at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ is fine.

Hi rudenoise, you reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can the bug report now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
