I'm having a similar problem. Firefox crashes randomly, sometimes even when I'm not active using it / am on a different desktop.
firefox 3.5.8 on ubuntu
I tried to get a hint by running it in gdb and got the same errors on 3 crashes (no ff debugging symbols):
ff_segfault.txt
I disabled all plugins, same crashes. Got following errors on the command line:
(firefox:7395): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
*** 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 312" data: no]
Segmentation fault
The gdb output looks a bit different this time:
