Turns out this problem was caused simply by running out of memory space - strace indicated a flood of calls returning ENOMEM just before a segfault. Making more memory available fixed the problem for good. I suggest that this bug be downgraded to something just indicating that firefox (and probably mozilla) does not handle memory pressure gracefully.
