Thanks

Setting
FIREFOX_DSP=none
in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc fixes the crash for me.

I've nailed down the problem a bit further. This seems to be some
strange permissions problem.
1. When I delete all contents (including hidden files) from a newly-
created test user's home and then log in as that user (using KDE) and
start firefox, everything works fine. Opening file pickers
Bug #28662, bug #47547 or bug #45008 might be related to this bug.

This looks to be user-specific:
- Created a new linux user. Logged in and started Firefox as that user, opened
a file picker. No crash.
- As my normal user, I still get the crash even after deleting ~/.gtk*,
~/.firefox and ~/.mozilla.
Is there anything I can do to further nail down this bug?
The crash also occurs when opening Firefox's preferences dialog. :-((

So at least I could fix the Preferences dialog crash by using a
different theme.
aptitude reinstall firefox hasn't helped, though.

As recommended in http://techpatterns.com/forums/about716.html , I've
run strace a found out that firefox fails to load a few files. These are
the last few line of the strace log (I'll upload the full log in a
minute):
gettimeofday({1154025488, 861182}, NULL) = 0
