you need to install 'iceweasel-dbg' first. The normal packages have
stripped out symbols (that's why you see here "(no debugging symbols
found)"). Without symbols a backtrace is mostly useless as there is not
see in what symbol the segfault was happen.

Please note also https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace there are
some hints.
