Well I can reproduce the segfaults semi-deterministically:

Firefox-3.5.4 either immediately dies, or dies after a little bit of
browsing.

The standard response to FF problems is "have you tried running it in
safe-mode"? I'm surprised no-one has said it so far. Many problems are
actually caused by plugins rather than FF itself.
True - nevertheless, if a plugin is able to tear down firefox, firefox
itself is broken, too.

Not so. Plugins and extensions don't run in a sandbox in current
versions of FF. Future versions will be different.

You don't have to have a sandbox for this. All that would be required is a bit of more or less sophisticated error handling/signal catching.
