i have some php-script that shell_execute some bash-script. In this bash I start a Xvfb-Session and start some firefox in it and take a screenshot and then kill firefox and xvfb again. Its on an Ubuntu 14.04 server.
It was running perfect until I updated to Mozilla Firefox 52.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.
But since firefox update Suddenly firefox is crashing and writing lot of things into /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog

It still runs perfect when i call this php-script on console with "php5-cgi test.php". But when i call it from browser via lightttpd it is crashing firefox suddenly.
In this firefox there is new that there is some plugin-container process. before everything was in one firefox process.
php-Script:
$token = date('Y-m-d-H-i-s') . '-a1sf24df4asd54';
$url = 'https://www.my-url.com';
$screenNo = (int) date('i') + 30;
$PID = shell_exec('./start-run-preview.sh ' . escapeshellarg($url) . ' ' . escapeshellarg($name) . ' 60 ' . $screenNo . ' ' . escapeshellarg($token) . ' >> logs/'.$token.'.log 2>&1 &');
echo 'Screen: ' . $screenNo . PHP_EOL;
exit;
start-run-preview.sh
echo "Starting XVFB on $XVFB_DISPLAY"
Xvfb :${XVFB_DISPLAY} -screen 0 ${XVFB_RES_WIDTH}x${XVFB_RES_HEIGHT}x24 -noreset -nolisten tcp 2> /dev/null &
XVFB_PID=$!
# Remove parent lock to prevent error message "firefox has been shutdown unexpectly..."
rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/${FF_PROFILE_DIR}/.parentlock
echo "Running firefox -profile ${FF_PROFILE_DIR} on $XVFB_DISPLAY "
DISPLAY=:${XVFB_DISPLAY} firefox -profile ~/.mozilla/firefox/${FF_PROFILE_DIR} -width $XVFB_RES_WIDTH -height $XVFB_RES_HEIGHT "$FF_URL" > /dev/null &
FF_PID=$!
echo "firefox running on PID $FF_PID"
I tried to disable flash plugin already in this used firefox profile, but it did not help. I don't know anymore what to do or where to locate the problem.
