I hit this shutdown crash in Firefox Aurora 42: bp-641dcde0-7ced-46f5-96c9-598b62150905

Via bug 1199957, I believe this is related to Spotlight indexing.
Nomis, are any stacks [1] useful in determining the cause? Or do we need more info from reporters? Reporter of bp-03d68f13-e990-4c74-bedf-5681e2160525 is notable of also having this crash signature nsStreamConverter::OnDataAvailable bp-2bb4c0f1-5e54-44ed-be6c-c56dd2160527 [1] https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?product=Thunderbird&date=%3E2016-06-01&signature=shutdownhang%20%7C%20libsystem_kernel.dylib%400x16136#comments (In reply to Minh Nguyễn from comment #3) > Via bug 1199957, I believe this is related to Spotlight indexing. From bug 1199957 comment 5 "The CPU spike, hang, and subsequent crash on quit is much less common with Spotlight indexing turned off. I noticed that there’s always a stalled indexing activity in the Activity Manager, under the account “null”. Judging from the number of total messages to index, the indexing activity is from a different account each time. I do have an IMAP account with an absurdly large number of messages in one folder (on the order of tens of thousands). However, this folder wasn’t causing problems until recently."

More informations are always good, maybe somebody with a bit more time can find similarities in the stacks that could help, I couldn't in my quick look. But nsStreamConverter::OnDataAvailable seems like its related to the part in nsStreamConverter.cpp which is 'called whenver data is written into the input stream by the networking library'.

Yes, that’s entirely possible. I had forgotten that the add-on was installed. (Came to think of it as a built-in part of Thunderbird! :-D)

Adam, you've had a couple crashes, like bp-73e4995a-86f9-4641-83dd-a81820170912. Do you have spotlight enabled?

Belated update: after that comment, I disabled Mail Summaries and haven’t seen the crashes since.

Crash rate has gone down slightly in the past 5 months but not great progress.

I haven't really learned much about this problem. I seem to crash less during normal, everyday use, although I'm having a lot of shutdown crashes now. It's probably not related. Sorry; I wish I had something more substantive to report.
Flags: needinfo?(adam)
Sorry, I got confused about which bug this was. :) I'm still seeing a lot of shutdown crashes, but they're in XPCOM shutdown rather than apparently being related to networking. They're probably unrelated, but in case there's some connection, here are some typical stacks: bp-f52b9d82-2171-483d-876c-9b1930180910 bp-236f41a9-3df4-47c0-9320-460750180908 bp-d0b1815d-3438-4a9d-b371-a5cf70180908 bp-fc49d097-50e6-498f-aac6-e5c4c0180908

Still, one question is whether your original report (all OSX 10.10) has a cause related to NSS issues - if yes then your original issue morphed to shutdownhang | libsystem_kernel.dylib@0x1ca1e What happens for you with newer version 60.3.0? Or a current beta?

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, still plenty of crashes and no perceptible change in the graph.

but no longer a topcrash

Oct 26 the crash rate dropped basically to 1-2 per day [1]. Comparing the previous months period [2] it would seem this reduction is across all versions of Thunderbird (at least 60 and 68 - the majority being 60.9.0). I don't see anything on my relman folder that we changed anything signficant in your release channels. Either tons of users moved off of MacOS 10.10 or this morphed to something else. Oddly enough [3] shutdownhang | __psynch_cvwait | _pthread_cond_wait | mozilla::detail::MutexImpl::unlock | pthread_cond_signal_thread_np comes into existence at that exact time - for both 10.10 and 10.11.
