You could start firefox with the -g flag to run it in gdb and see where
it crashes (if you're lucky).

I saw the missing icons too, but sadly I can't remember how I fixed it.
I think I re-installed gnome-mime-data and gnome-mime-info, but I can't
remember if that's what did it.  Sorry I can't be more helpful.
