i have this same problem but can't start firefox with gdb it's very easy to reproduce by going to http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=78561&videoChannel=4 also i don't think it's a problem with gnash because i use adobe flash player and still have the same problem. below is the output of gdb when I try to run firefox with it.
