Bug Description
I just upgraded to the latest Firefox package (calls itself Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U;
Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0.2 (Ubuntu package 1.0.2
MFSA2005-56) in the UA string), and have begun notice frequent segmentation
faults when performing basic operations such as switching tabs. When attempting
to disable extensions and isolate the cause of the crashes, I noticed that
loading the extension manager also causes a crash. Firefox does not seem to
output any useful error message to the console in this case, aside from "***
loading the extensions datasource" followed by "Segmentation fault".

Same crash seems to occur when loading themes manager or history, too.
