In fact, I have heard of it. I upgraded to Fedora 26 the day it was released, and Cinnamon is at the latest version.

And the crash just happened again today. . . . .

Can you tell us what applets, desklets and extensions you’re running? Try disabling and making a note of any 3rd party ones (ones you may have downloaded, that weren’t pre-installed), particularly system monitor or hardware monitor types.

I was passively reading a webpage on Firefox when cinnamon suddenly crashed with no warning, and asked if I should reboot it. I said yes.

Also, Firefox was unable to display anything after rebooting cinnamon. It just showed a loading spinner where the webpage should be. Restarting Firefox (after I started filling out this form) fixed the issue. A YouTube video I was listening to continued playing (with audio) but wasn't visible.

I'm still investigating the cjs issue, it randomly occurs here 3 or 4 times a month when the PC is unattended.
The gjs backports for this issue haven't helped so far.
