Can you try setting HTTPS Everywhere's "loglevel" variable (in about:config) to 3, and capturing the output as you are doing now?/

OK, the LogLevel value was 5 (apparently the default?), but I've changed it to
3, and I'm seeing lots more output now.  I'll let everyone know the next time
I get a crash.

(/*Lowering*/ the LogLevel creates /*more*/ output???)

I'm running the following extensions:

    Adblock Plus 2.2.1
    Add-on Compatibility Reporter 2.0
    ColorZilla 2.8
    CsFire 1.0.8
    Download Statusbar 0.9.10
    Ghostery 2.8.3
    Global Menu Bar Integration 3.6.4
    HTTPS-Everywhere 3.1.2
    LastPass 2.0.0
    PageRank for Firefox 1.1.1
    PDF Viewer 0.7.1
    Session Manager 0.7.9.2
    Tab Mix Plus 0.4.0.3.1
    Test Pilot 1.2.2
    Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 2.6
    WorldIP 2.2.0
    WOT 20120926

I've got a bunch of other old extensions that are marked as "disabled".  I can
try actually removing them, though I wonder if this would make any difference;
any thoughts?

I'm not familiar with the "-P -no-remote" flags; what would this do?  I am, in
fact, already running in a fairly new profile, with most of my add-ons
reinstalled by synchronizing to another (non-crashing) Firefox instance on a
different computer; I did this a few days ago, thinking that my old profile
might have become corrupted from years of upgrades and such, and hoping (sadly
in vain) that starting over again might clear up the crashing/hanging problem.
