I have the same problem - Firefox 3.5.3 from Karmic crashes after upgrading to Firebug 1.5 beta 1. Using the Mozilla provided official release works fine - Firebug 1.5beta runs perfectly.
The problem is that:
* Firebug development team won't support a custom build with no crash reporter, especially as the official build does not crash. They claim (very justifiably) that they cannot crash Firefox due to a bug on their code.
* Firefox development team won't support a custom build that has a crash when their official build does not.
* Understandably Ubuntu developers won't support crashes caused by external alpha-quality software.
As Firebug has gone into beta recently, and as the problem is with the Ubuntu build - can someone please look into it? I will provide a stack trace in the next comment.
