This just means that mozilla has crashed. Look for bugs in Bugzilla [1]
with the "crash" keyword or the substring "crash" in the summary [2].
Try running mozilla in gdb with "mozilla -g -d gdb" and get a stack
trace [3]. If you can't find an existing bug with this stack trace, just
file a new one.
The most valuable information in a bug report are reliable steps to
reproduce. If you know a reliable way to crash mozilla, it is helpful to
file a bug even if you don't know the stack trace. You should try to
avoid filing duplicates, but if you file some, don't feel guilty. It
would be far worse to miss some crashers.
Using talkback enabled nightly builds is another way to report crashers.
BTW, is there already an FAQ about this?
