There's always 'ulimit -c 0' to prevent firefox from dumping core.

I've been running ff43 out of http://buildzone.oi-build.r61.net:1000/ for a

them to be a lesser evil than a browser that doesn't work properly (or in
some cases at all) on an increasingly larger fraction of the web.  So, with
that said: Ship it.
