We don't understand this issue well. Current theorys are a 3rd party store
that only provides an ARM binary. Some sort of forum post that is popular
or some sort of direct link on the internet to download Firefox. I have
seen a different crash that is an emulator that allows users to run Android
apps on desktops [1]. Since it is a a crash on startup it is simple for a
user to crash many times inflating the crash rate.
