emet64.dll appears to be a common reference. That is part of Microsoft EMET (Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit). I've used EMET for years, and never had a problem between it and Firefox until today.

Probably this is caused by EAF (= Export Address Filtering). Can you disable EAF/EAF+ for firefox.exe and see the crash still happens or not? As discussed in Bug 1509748, it's not guaranteed that firefox works with EAF.

I think our blocklist can block emet64.dll, but it means all EMET mitigations would be implicitly disabled in firefox. If the problem is only EAF, we don't want to disable the other mitigations.
