When I tried to use "reportbug" with firefox, I got this
useful hint:

Firefox was crashing for me in debian unstable, when I used
the "composite" option in Xorg. It was because of the Flash
Plugin.

I had to start firefox like this[1].

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox

Try to move the plugins out of the way and tell us whether it
works or not.

Regards.
