Generally speaking a crash is a Mozilla bug, but Zotero for Firefox will soon be replaced by Zotero Standalone + a lightweight Firefox connector, so this will no longer be an issue.

You are probably right, though I'm not sure how Mozilla looks at bugs that only occur with third party plugins installed. I filed a bug report anyway: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1328861
