FF21, TB17 crash on print

Running Firefox 21.0_2,1 on FreeBSD using the CUPS printing system and
when I select Print, Print Preview, or Page Setup Firefox crashes.

The report in the error logs is not helpful:
exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

CUPS does not report an error (at least not that I can find).

Thunderbird 17.0.6 has the same problem, but I have never tried to print
from Thunderbird before, so I do not know if this is new.

Printing from other applications works fine (Chromium, Opera,
OpenOffice, GnuCash)

Based on the closest suggestion I found on the Mozilla Support site, I
rebuilt CUPS and CUPS pdf this weekend, but that doesn't seem to help.

I also forced the rebuild of Firefox, Thunderbird, and all their
dependencies in case that was it, but the problem persists.

For the record, I have restarted Firefox in safe mode, and in that
condition, trying to print still crashes the browser, but it crashes
much faster than with extensions enabled.

any ideas or suggestions?
