Confirming since I've experienced this bug too. I suspect this may be a duplicate of bug 274064 just with different symptoms. Namely, I think both are caused by the way Firefox and its libraries move around when version changes occur.

Changed in firefox-3.0:
importance: Undecided → Medium
status: New → Confirmed

I just talked to Alexander from Mozilla Team, and he said bugs that show up from an update are the reason it tells you to restart the browser, so such bugs are Invalid. So I'm marking this Invalid.

Changed in firefox-3.0:
status: Confirmed → Invalid
