For that you probably need to compile Firefox or whatever other application you need to analyze with debug support (-g flag) and optimization disabled (-O0 most likely).
If you want to go further down then you will also need libraries you compiled with debug support or at leas the debugging symbols for the library.
Most Linux distros usually provide a -dgb package that contains the symbols for a that library.
Eg: Ubuntu has a libc6-dbg packet with the debugging symbols for libc.
