Firefox started behaving a lot better for me after I did an:

         rm -rf ~/.firefox ~/.mozilla

For some reason firefox really didn't want to share the config
directory (at that time ~/.firefox) between openbsd-current/amd64 and
netbsd-current/i386.  The config directory was an old one generated by
pre-1.0 firefox on the openbsd box.  When I tried to run firefox on
netbsd it simply exited with no messages.  After deleting ~/.firefox,
firefox on netbsd created ~/.mozilla/firefox, but now running it under
openbsd caused firefox to exit immediately.  Deleting the new config
directory again and starting it on openbsd I noticed that firefox was
quite a bit more stable than it was running with the old config
directory.  I still couldn't run it on both systems, but at least it
stopped exiting every time I sneezed.

It seems that 1) firefox has some machine or os dependent crap in the
config directory and 2) it also appears to ether have some
version-specific crap in there, (or perhaps it just retains bad state
from some previous crash.)  In any case periodic deletions of the
config directory might be in order.
