The first of these firefox.png was the cause of the problem. When I moved it out of /usr/share/pixmaps the crash in the system monitor stopped happening. I could not view firefox.png with the gimp until i renamed it to firefox.svg. So somehow this 'misnamed icon' file got into my /usr/share/pixmaps directory.
But I don't think the process monitor should crash because a icon has a bad extension.

Thanks BandD I had the same problem as you and your tips helped me solve my problem. The following two 'icon' files existed:
/usr/share/ pixmaps/ firefox. png pixmaps/ firefox- 3.0.png
/usr/share/
