This may be somewhat helpful, though it would probably make more sense
if you built mozilla from the upstream source.

Aside from strace, you can also try:
* Running mozilla through valgrind. It will be painfully slow though,
and you may need to fiddle with the environment to get mozilla to run
using the /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin instead of the /usr/bin/mozilla
wrapper script.
* Attaching gdb and get a backtrace at the segfault
In addition, since Debian binaries are usually stripped, it can be
helpful to rebuild the package to get unstripped binaries that contain
more debugging information. For most packages, you can accomplish this
with:
$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip dpkg-buildpackage
Also, passing noopt may be useful too.

Nope, I don't see anything interesting...
