Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

My Firefox 3.7 from daily builds ppa crashes on many sites atm. It was pretty stable on alpha1 but now very unstable on latest alpha3. One example that always crashes it is "reuters.com". I get the following terminal output:

12:08 % firefox-3.7 ~
*** e = [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/utilityOverlay.js :: getShellService :: line 307" data: no]

some more testing showed that:

- this problem does not occur with the upstream build of 3.7 alpha3
- doesn't occur either with the ppa daily build version if I switch off dom.ipc.plugins.enabled
