Firefox segfaults due to JavaScript

[adamcrume]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Firefox segfaults very easily. One consistent example is browsing to Youtube and using its search. I've tried starting it in safe mode, rebooting, creating a new profile, and uninstalling/reinstalling. Still crashes. I ran it in debug mode and got a stacktrace which suggests that it is JavaScript related. I tried different web sites and Firefox would always crash in the same spot.

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 on AMD 64, and Firefox 3.5.9.

I forgot to mention that the crash reporting dialog box does not come up. FIrefox simply dies.
