Maybe take a slightly different approach. Start a "typescript" file by 
first running

% script

then run

% gdb firefox

then when it crashes type

gdb> where

(or whatever gdb commands you want), then

gdb> quit
% exit

The final exit should close the "typescript" file which you can then
attach to a bug report or forward to the list.
