You might want to retrace yourself the coredump file with gdb. In that
case you have to do the following:

Install the debugging symbols for firefox as:

apt-get install firefox-dbg

Optionally you might want to install the following  packages as:

apt-get install libgtk2.0-0-dbg libnss3-0d-dbg libnspr4-0d-dbg
libpango1.0-0-dbg libc6-dbg

Copy and paste in a xterm the following sequence of commands:

TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d) 
apport-unpack /var/crash/_usr_lib_firefox_firefox-bin.1000.crash $TMPDIR
gdb -nx /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -core $TMPDIR/CoreDump -ex 'backtrace full' -ex 'thread apply all backtrace full' -ex 'quit' 2>&1 | tee gdb.log
rm -fr $TMPDIR

That command will run gdb against the coredump file included in the
crash report that was generated when firefox crashed.

Upload the resulting gdb.log to launchpad.

One good thing to do is looking at the gdb output and search for missing
dbg libraries or other warnings, install them and run again gdb.

Thank you in advance
