According to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs?action=show&redirect=DebuggingFirefox
I should run in debugger using
gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gdb-firefox.txt

I have used gdb before but doing so now I only get this and I can not run in gdb.
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0.1-ubuntu
...
...
"/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox": not in executable format: File format not recognized
(gdb) run
Starting program:
No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.
(gdb)

I must be doing something very wrong.
