I found that doing:
1. apt-get purge moonlight-plugin-core moonlight-plugin-mozilla
2. Start firefox
3. Exit firefox
4. apt-get install moonlight-plugin-core moonlight-plugin-mozilla
5. Start firefox fixes the problem for me.  Have reproduced the fix twice now:

First crash:
kbotherway at kim-touch:~$ firefox 
Attempting to load the system libmoon 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After removing moonlight plugins:
kbotherway at kim-touch:~$ firefox 
OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice'

After reinstalling the plugins:
kbotherway at kim-touch:~$ firefox 
Attempting to load the system libmoon

Status in “moon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
after installing Shockwave via mozplugger I deleted pluginreg.dat and tried to boot firefox. as opposed to auto-generating the file, firefox crashes. after running firefox in terminal noticed "user at SDF-1:~$ firefox
Attempting to load the system libmoon 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

proceeded to uninstall moon packages and firefox then behaves as intended.

after doing a clean install I attempted to recreate the bug without the presence of other non-default packages and proceeded to install moonlight and then deleted pluginreg.dat from firefox to the same results.

I am using the current 3/13/10 daily-build of lucid 64bit
I apologize for the lack of an apport bug report but it doesn't seem to be working right now.
