Firefox crashes when accessing Google Maps, likely related to graphics driver

[Fabrizio Gennari]

Using Ubuntu 14.04 and Firefox 33.0.

When accessing the new Google Maps at https://www.google.com/maps/ the second time in a session, Firefox crashes. From the crash report, the crash occurs in the graphics driver r600_dri.so.

This is a call stack, taken from Mozilla's crash report

1 r600_dri.so r600_dri.so@0x168a34
2 libgallium.so.0.0.0 libgallium.so.0.0.0@0x327e3
3 r600_dri.so r600_dri.so@0x5cba3f
4 r600_dri.so r600_dri.so@0x5cbaa7
5 r600_dri.so r600_dri.so@0x164a26
6 r600_dri.so r600_dri.so@0x16b7fe
7 r600_dri.so r600_dri.so@0xf73f3
