[Bug 1041211] [NEW] firefox repeatedly crashing on startup when Global Menu Bar Integration enabled

[Ketil]

Public bug reported:

My browser crashed while streaming video from an online news site. Next
time I restarted, there was a new NoScript update installed, and then
firefox crashed immediately. After that, firefox would crash within 5
seconds of every restart. After retrying a number of times, firefox
detected that it was crashing on startup, and gave me some options to
start in safe mode or disable various options and restart.

I managed to disable all plugins, and now Firefox is been working again.
Enabling one by one plugin, I discovered that the Global Menu Bar
Integration causes firefox to crash when I enable it. I'm leaving it
disabled for now.
