This needs to be filed upstream.
You also need to provide a better trace to them.

reporting like that doesn't help anyone. you need to rebuild firefox having enabled debug, disabled stripping in mozconfig and also in PKGBUILD

Thanks for the advice.

However, it looks like the segfaults were caused by a broken memory module. So feel free to close this bug.
