I get the following traceback when trying to retrace this crash report. I have filed this bug before on apport see bug #92739 for more details. Im going to assign this to hjmf to see if he can retrace it but from the maintainer of apport its a bad coredump. Can you please send another crash report here if you can reproduce it, if not can you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs. I would perfer a backtrace if you can grab one. I will talk to the apport maintainer about this to see how the coredump is getting corrupted.
