The other thing you can do is run "firefox -g" and it will run it
through a debugger. I think it will automatically pick gdb as the
default, but you might have to add "-d gdb". After that, you're trying
to decipher a backtrace, so good luck with that.
One other thing is that you don't need to install it to run it. It
will be in $builddir/dist/bin/firefox. Through the magical abuse of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, everything will work from there.
Also, I was reading /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh (you may want to
look at it), and it points to this page:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/debugging-faq.html
That's kind of old, but may help.
