Prior to this update, Firefox 3.6 was fine, but Minefield was exhibiting the same problems.

Reproduction:
1. Opened firefox
2. Typed "linux journal" into awesome bar
3. Sometimes the page loads, other times not. Terminal outputs the aforementioned errors, and the browser window becomes unresponsive.
