Are you able to get a crash ID ?

Ludovic: We don't have symbols for nothumb builds right now, so a crash report ID is not useful.

My HTC Wildfire also crashes while starting Fennec. I have attached the log during it's startup and crash.

Note that the metadata of this bug is incorrect (Product should be Fennec instead of Core and Platform should be Android instead of Other).

The product is fine. Changed the OS and cpu arch

I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.0-RC2-buzz by HCDRJacob and Fennec nightly loads now. However the text on the screen is too large and it is affected by bug 612011 and bug 596863 (crashes a few seconds after startup).

So it seems there is an issue with the HTC Wildfire firmware.

This needs to be re-tested, this bug is 1.5 years old.

This bug is normal, HTC Wildfire doesn't support OpenGL and Firefox needs it to work. 
Next time search before submitting a bug report ;)

That's useful information, thanks. If we're crashing because OpenGL doesn't work, we may simply have to blacklist this phone.
