If it's b5's fault, why does it do the exact same thing in Seamonkey (the stable version based on gecko 1.8)
Bah. Spoke too soon, it still does crash. So it seems beta 5 is the one
common point of failure, at least for me. It has worked very nicely from
alphas onward until b5.

Bug description:
Firefox was updated today, and crashes when switching from a flash page to another.
This happens on youtube almost all the time.
Running firefox in a terminal:
$ firefox
(firefox:25251): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme file for semi-transparent has no directories
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I don't believe the Gtk-WARNING message is relevant for this problem; it is displayed when running most gtk apps.
I don't know how to get a backtrace, as I can't run firefox through gdb, because /usr/bin/firefox is a script.
