Bug Description

This morning I updated mozilla-firefox [1], and every time I hit C-W or use
middle mouse button to close a tab, firefox segfaults. It even happened few
times as I was writing this bug report. I dont yet have anything else to report.

admp@sols:~$ apt-cache policy mozilla-firefox

I am seeing exactly the same issue. Every time I close a tab, FireFox segfaults.
I'm running Hoary on AMD64.

Oh, I am also running hoary. Details follow:

admp@sols:~$ uname -a
Linux sols 2.6.10-5-386 #1 Fri Jun 24 16:53:01 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

Well, I think this problem is not arch-dependent, as already confirmed for AMD64.
I see no reason why it should be.
