Description: Hello.

Since I upgraded my archlinux + testing repositories to systemd 221, Mozilla Firefox 38.0.5 kept on crashing while trying to load a video on youtube.

I noticed this bug only with my desktop computer which is using xf86-video-nouveau driver. On both my laptop and my asus eeePC notebook, it works. Both are using xf86-video-intel driver.

Crashes happens both in a brand new profile without any extensions or in my standard one.

When I looked at xf86-video-nouveau depends, I noticed systemd is one of them. Could it be related ?

I noticed if I go back to stable repositories, crashes disappeared.

Additional info:
systemd 221-1
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11-3
firefox : 38.0.5-1

Steps to reproduce:
1) Just have a computer with a nvidia card / chipset and nouveau for it.
2) Put on archlinux + testing on it.
3) Go to youtube. Try to load a video in html5 mode
4) See it crash :(
This task depends upon

Seems to happen also on dailymotion. So, if it is not xf86-video, could it be related gstreamer-plugins-good or even gstreamer package ?

Confirmed, it's caused by gst-plugins-* packages in [testing]

Simple question : what is your display hardware ? Nvidia ? Intel ? ATI/AMD ? Strangely, I do not have any crashes on my laptop and its Intel GPU :(

Intel. Are your laptops also using [testing]?

Both of them.

I have an old Asus eeePC 1005HAG -> intel ICM 945GSE.

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ -> Intel GMA 4500M chipset.
