If you can get a mozilla.org build of firefox instead of a distro-provided one, 
firefox's built-in crash handler (breakpad) provides a lot more information than 
a simple backtrace. Here's a sample report of the adobe player crashing: 
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/12202c88-8fff-4301-9379-6cdac2100331

It may be worth looking at the alpha builds of firefox: they run plugins in a 
separate process, so when the plugin crashes the browser doesn't. Plugin crashes 
are reported somehow, but I'm not sure if the information in them is better or 
worse or the same as in older versions of firefox.
