FWIW, I recently installed Firefox 40.0 on my amd64 system.  In the past 24 hours, it has crashed twice.  (Once while scrolling through a long page, once overnight while I was sleeping and nothing was happening!)

I have not had any time to investigate further, but I might suggest that 40.0 has "stability issues".   :)

I've recently updated to Firefox 40, most recent pkgsrc on most recent
netbsd-7 amd64 and have noticed it now crashes at unpredictable
intervals. Possibly more often shortly after opening a new tab but
that may be anecdotal...

And more FWIW, my windoze box informed me that there's a "teeny" update out now for F'fox. 40.0.2 claims to be a "stability and security" update.
