the first step is to find a way to reproduce it. If you can' , then
the developpers really don't have a lot to work with to track the bug
down. Once you find a way to reproduce it, then you can run firefox
from the command line and see if it generate any errors when you
reproduce the bug.
Other steps to try as well tp try to track the bug down: does the bug
appears if you don't have any plugins or extensions. Is it also
present if you start using a new user profile.
But at this point without more information than " firefox crashed" I
don't think it's worth filling a bug report.
