Here is another trace generated after the installation of firefox-dbg package.
I didn't find any particular information on how to use it, so I only reproduced the crash using the normal firefox launcher ... hope this will help you.

Again, let me say that I have beryl installed but I have reproduced the crash with and without the 3D desktop ...

I'm sorry but since my bug report and because the crashes were really annoying to me, I renamed my firefox profile folder and created a new one.
I have kept the old one for a while in the case someone answered to my report but I'm sorry to say that it is today completely deleted.
As the use of a new profile resolved the problem I think you can close the report

Thank you

Actually I'm not able to reproduce the crash because - as already explained - I started a new profile when this bug became really annoying ...
What I can add that at this time I was using "noscript", "CuteMenus - crystal SVG" and "VideoDownloader" extensions (sorry but I don't remind which versions, they changed a lot since) at least and they were probably located in a profile directory located on a vfat mounted partition, called in the local profile dir through a symlink
eg:
$ ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/r5fsd6.default/extensions
[...] .mozilla/firefox/r5fsd6.default/extensions -> /mnt/d/Profiles/Wouaib/extensions

But I don't think this could really explain anything because I still work like this and don't have any problem
