Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please install firefox-debuginfo; in order to do this you have to enable -debuginfo repository. yum install --enablerepo=*debuginfo firefox-debuginfo (if you use x86_64 firefox, install firefox-debuginfo.x86_64 package). Then run firefox with a parameter -g. That will start firefox running inside of gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make firefox crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run (gdb) thread apply all backtrace This produces usually many screens of the text.

Thanks in advance.
