Can you reproduce with firefox binary built by FreeBSD package cluster?

$ pkg delete -f firefox
$ pkg install firefox
$ make install -C/usr/ports/www/firefox-i18n

Probably because "firefox --version" crashes. It would be surprising
if firefox works fine otherwise.

Try to get a backtrace. If you didn't disable DTRACE or PROFILE the
package should have non-debug symbols. Alternatively, build firefox
itself and all its library dependencies with debug symbols e.g.,

$ env CFLAGS=-g make clean all install STRIP= WITHOUT=OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS -C /usr/ports/www/firefox
$ env CFLAGS=-g make clean all install STRIP= -C /usr/ports/devel/icu
