Thank you all,

Apparently, the first launch on a new X-session is nearly always successful. But, closing and relaunching causes a coredump.

Slightly different, though

The workaround using

env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true GALLIUM_DRIVER=swr firefox

works here, thank you. Now I can use the browser without killing X and start a new session. I'll bind that to a keybinding for now until it is no longer needed.
