Full trace of all threads of plasmashell crash

SUMMARY

I was using Plasma 5.27.9 on Wayland in a Fedora 39 KDE Plasma installation. I started Firefox 121.0a1 (2023-11-17) on Wayland. I logged into my Instagram account. I played various videos in posts and stories. plasmashell crashed while playing a video in a post. I clicked on the mute button on the video around the time of the crash though that might've been right after the crash. The panel disappeared from the bottom of the screen and reappeared automatically a few seconds later. drkonqi didn't appear. abrt and selinux notifications appeared. plasmashell crashed in QObject::parent according to coredumpctl gdb.

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/plasmashell --no-respawn'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'm attaching the full trace of all threads. The pointer de was null in frames 0 in QObject::parent() and 1 in Plasma::DataContainer::getDataEngine() of the crashing thread 1 in the full trace.

This crash was the first with this trace I've seen. The functions like MultiplexedService::activePlayerChanged in frames 2 to 4 might indicate that the media player applet was involved.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. boot a Fedora 39 KDE Plasma installation
2. log in to Plasma 5.27.9 on Wayland from sddm
3. start Firefox 121.0a1 (2023-11-17) on Wayland
4. log in to your Instagram account
5. play videos in Instagram posts until the problem happens. pressing the mute button on the video might be involved. This problem didn't normally happen so it might take a long time before it does.

OBSERVED RESULT
plasmashell crashed in QObject::parent when playing a video in Firefox

EXPECTED RESULT
plasmashell shouldn't have crashed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 39
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I've seen occasional plasmashell crashes when playing Instagram videos in Firefox which I reported at Bug 471248. I don't know if that problem is related to this one as those crashes didn't create core dumps. Journal messages like the following were repeatedly shown shortly before this crash as also happened with Bug 471248
