Well, I managed to figure out how to get gdb to connect to
firefox-bin and I end up in libpthread.

#0  0x487b50ab in pthread_testcancel () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#1  0x487adeda in pthread_mutexattr_init () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#2  0x487b1050 in pthread_setconcurrency () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1

All the other frames lack symbols, so I don't know the call graph.
I guess I can rebuild firefox and all its dependencies with debugging
symbols.
