Here's a quick list of missing info:

1. Can you show compiler/cflags/etc you use? run 'cat /etc/make.conf'
2. Can you show the list of installed packages? run 'pkg_info -aE'
3. Can you show port options? run 'cat /var/db/ports/*/options'
4. Can you show cpu features? extract them from 'dmesg'
5. Try disabling WEBRTC and rebuild.
6. Try enabling DEBUG, rebuild and run the .core file in gdb(1).
7. If DEBUG option makes the crash go away then try building as

   $ make WITHOUT=DEBUG DEBUG_FLAGS='-O0 -g -fno-omit-frame-pointer'

8. Does www/firefox-esr builds/installs fine with same options
   in your environment?

I'm not even sure if you're running 9.1-RELEASE or 9.1-STABLE...

My testing was limited to 9.1R i386 poudriere jail on 10.0 amd64 host.
I wish someone could confirm firefox still works on a old i386 cpus e.g.,
those without SSE2.
