Seems as duplicate of 309539
I edited my /etc/
replacing the line reading
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4
by
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
that is, removed the "wins" term from that line. This seems to have worked around the problem. No firefox crash any more.
