you can unset G_DEBUG to workaround the crash, gnome-session was setting it to trigger crashes on warning which is something upstream do to get warning bugs but ubuntu doesn't usually, gnome-session has been changed in hardy again to stop doing that now

firefox still crash when unset G_DEBUG

error message when G_DEBUG is set

      GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
      aborting...
      Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

error message when unset G_DEBUG

      (gecko:26026): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
      Segmentation fault (core dumped)
