I cannot reproduce.  You need to provide a backtrace from that core file
so we can know better where the problem lies.  Search the Internet on
how to use gdb to do this if you are not familiar.

You might try:

portupgrade -fR firefox

On the cloned machine to see if that helps.  Additionally, try loading
firefox without any plug-ins on a clean test account, and see if it
still crashes.
