No, as it's not running.

If I'm correct then FF crashed on this https://developer.mozilla.org/En/PR_EnumerateAddrInfo which is in this main function http://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#1831 but I can't see addresses in stack output of mdb as in this post http://solaristhings.blogspot.com/2006/08/dont-be-afraid-of-mdb.html  I can see library names. So what's next? Is there a way to get more "human readable" output with DTrace for similar cases?

Run the output through c++filt to demange the C++ names.

You're probably going to be better off using a debugger which is part of 
the compiler toolchain used to build it, such as dbx or gdb as appropriate.
