Hi,
Currently i don't have a X-enabled hardened system (only a router).
Would suggest at least two/three ways to check things.
1.start mozilla from a console, check/post error logs;
2.use 'strace' to start mozilla, post strace logs.
3.Same but use some debugger (gdb, other).
Check PaX flags on mozilla binary (chpax (deprecated) paxctl).
Check/alter any grsec settings, through /proc (if enabled).
