OK, sorry for not being more explicit.

You mentioned that you run

firefox -g 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gdb-firefox.log

but nothing happens. Thats normal and the wiki should probably be
improved, because you will end up in a prompt like this:

(gdb)

In order to go ahead you have to run firefox manually like:

(gdb) run
...

and as soon as firefox crashes you need to generate the backtrace:

(gdb) bt full

if that output is complete you can exit the debug session by typing

 (gdb) quit

and the gdb-firefox.log should then contain useful information.

Please attach a log generated that way.

Thanks,
