Bug Description

Since the latest upgrade on feisty (as off 2007-04-08 EST), firefox would segfault when an URL is included as an argument.

GDB backtrace follows once launchpad allows me to upload a file.

Ok, this bug is only reproducible on amd64. i386 doesn't seem to be affected.

Also, it can be triggered by switching between firefox profiles.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Launch firefox http://launchpad.net, everything's OK
2. Launch firefox -ProfileManager, select the other profile, everything's OK.
3. While the previous firefox with the other profile is running, run firefox -ProfileManager again, and select the default profile. Again, the new instance of firefox starts up ok.
4. Exit both instance of firefox
5. Launch firefox http://launchpad.net, instant segfault.
