Firefox crashes on WebGL and Canvas pages (radeonsi_dri.so)

Using Firefox 31 on Xubuntu, visiting pages which display WebGL or Canvas content produces very frequent crashes, with the cause apparently being a segfault when interacting with the radeon driver. One example that always produces a crash for me is the "Ninja Impact" example from the Phaser.js library. Other ones vary, but usually after viewing one or two WebGL applications (for example, the three.js demos), I get a crash.

Tried the nightly build - same result. No crashes on WebKit browsers.

That looks like a problem with the display driver (radeonsi_dri.so).

Is there an update available or can you try another (generic) display driver?

Are there any error messages on the troubleshooting information page in the Graphics section?

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Disabling hardware acceleration didn't change anything. If this really were a driver problem, I would expect to see the same behavior in all browsers - WebKit based ones don't crash for me (and also have better WebGL performance).
