Can you try to reproduce the problem without DNS? I think you don't have the above problem because your hostname is resolved. And in my case, my hostname is resolved because I have an entry in /etc/hosts, so firefox does not crash, but when I deleted that entry, it crashes and it is necessary to move or delete the profile directory as I specified above. This is just my experience with firefox (and thunderbird).
