I'm getting this on both my dapper machines. Downgrading to 1.5.0.8 packages I had cached gets rid of the problem. So I think this must be a bug generated by one of the new security patches.

It also happens with the yahoo mail website if you have a stored login details the browser segv when you go to the web page.

Using the recipe in bug #77998 mention above and that in:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1968450&postcount=5

I installed firefox-dbg and ran it and get the following error message:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1219811648 (LWP 10214)]
0xb619e5cc in nsPasswordManager::AttachToInput (this=0x8580040, aElement=0x0)
    at nsPasswordManager.cpp:1962
1962 nsPasswordManager.cpp: No such file or directory.
        in nsPasswordManager.cpp

Hope thats of some help. I guess it maybe the aElement being a NULL pointer.
