Try to launch firefox in safe mode to see if the problem still occurs:
firefox -safe-mode

Hi,

please submit the crash report by (double) clicking on it (e.g. using gnome file manager). Otherwise, we won't be able to process it efficiently. The .crash files can be found in the /var/crash directory.

Thanks,
