1) enable the 'core release debug'
2) install the packages gdb will ask you
3) run the following command from a terminal:
  gdb -q firefox 2>&1 | tee debug.txt
4) then type 'run'
(if it ask for missing packages, install them)
5) when it segfaults, type 'bt'
6) attach the file debug.txt to this bug

Points 1,2,3,4 are OK
But then the screen freeze and I have to reset.
The file debug.txt is empty.

There is the same problem with firefox-beta and thunderbird
When I installed thunderbird I had the same problem.

Midori works fine.

Try with:

3.5) type 'set logging on'

It should log output to gdb.txt
