I used that one so I can see the actual syscall of the binary:
strace /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox -safe-mode

Thanks for the suggestion. However I can't make much sense out of it. 
Basically what I see at the end just before the crash is a lot 
(dozens/hundreds?) of lines like this one:
read(3, 0x7f50f1383074, 4096)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource 
temporarily unavailable)
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, 
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=24, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=25, 
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=26, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=10, 
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=35, events=POLLIN}, {fd=55, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=17, events=POLLIN}], 10, 500 <unfinished ...>

The only thing that looks a bit differently (beside a couple of futexes) is:
read(24, "GIOP\1\2\1\1U\0\0\0", 12)     = 12

Anything I could watch out for?
Does anyone has experience how open the Firefox developers are if I 
report a crash with a Fedora firefox on b.m.o?
