Just to make sure, have you used the command without the space before 
"firefox", i.e.:
   $  defaults write org.mozilla.firefox OSCrashReporter -bool true
... and restarted Firefox?

Does it work when running with the crash reporter disabled via an 
environment variable? E.g. something like:
   $ MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_DISABLE=1 
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin

Is it a crash or a hang? We kill the plugin-container after a timeout 
(dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs), in which case the signature for the 
linked crash report from about:crashes will start with "hang".

If it's a crash, can't you attach your debugger (e.g. Xcode) to the 
plugin container and catch it there?
