I installed the debug symbols as requested, and ran the program as described on the web page (through gdb). FireFox did crash (always nice when the crash recurs during debugging...).
Unfortunately, I do not have a crash file: /var/crash is empty, and there is nothing relevant in /usr/lib/firefox or in ~ (by nothing relevant, I mean there is nothing newer than October in the former, and nothing newer than the debug log in ~. I've attached the debug log as well as the results of about:plugins. Of interest: The debug log reads The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 118 error_code 8 request_code 144 minor_code 3) It has been years (decade?) since I used gdb, I can run with the --sync option if desired, but it may take me a while to figure it out....
