Bug Description

Sometimes, when using firefox under XFCE and the Japanese IME (scim-anthy), firefox crashes. Firefox won't start up anymore(crash immediately) until scim-anthy is disabled once(using the regular ctrl-space method). After a successful session has been restarted scim-anthy can be used again.
This bug is somehow Javascript-related(usually happens when submitting a form) and happens frequently. I also use the sometimes buggy swfplayer Flash plugin, but it seems unrelated. Plain firefox besides that.

By the way, it is swfdec-plugin. I got the names mixed. However, I tried disabling it and the bug is still there. It must be firefox, javascript, anthy and or X server related.
