Bug Description
Having scim-gtk2-immodule installed and set GTK_IM_MODULE=scim, most GTK+ applications that link to libstdc++.so.5 will likely to crash, including mozilla/
The work around is using XIM mode or scim-bridge (needs to have some scim-bridge-* packages installed), by setting GTK_IM_MODULE to xim or scim-bridge, respectively. The correct way to set GTK_IM_MODULE should be using im-switch, but I am not quite sure about the exact im-switch settings in Ubuntu (and I think it changed from release to release).
