I believe that Shawn is correct - it's places.sqlite that's having this
issue.

To test, what I did was to move my .mozilla folder to mozilla.bad, then
I restarted firefox and allowed it to create the new profile. I waited
about 3-4 minutes and surfed Facebook for a bit (not because of the
site, but because Facebook is one of the greatest timewasters known to
humankind), and it didn't segfault.

Then I copied places.sqlite into my newly created profile - sure enough
Firefox segfaulted. So I decided to do a timing test, and in fact it's
crashing far earlier than 3 minutes. Also, the app seems to freeze
before the crash.
