Would you mind running this with gdb to posting the results? it would help track the issue immensly..

To do so, first as root run 'debuginfo-install -y java-1.6.0-openjdk firefox'

Once everything is installed, close all firefox instances, and open up a terminal. Run 'firefox -g 2>&1 | tee console.log' to start firefox within gdb and log everything to the file named console.log.

Do the usual stuff to make the browser crash, and then back in the gdb terminal, you'll see that it has caught the SIGSEGV.

There, type 'thread apply all bt'. This will dump all the thread data. Then type exit and hit enter to exit out of gdb.

Please scan console.log to make sure it has no information you wouldn't want public, and then attach it to this bug.

Once this is all done, you can remove the *-debuginfo rpms installed by the debuginfo-install command.
