It turned out that the problem was with a buggy theme in KDE. Are you using KDE as your desktop manager? If yes, can you test if the following helps (it does NOT for me thou):

on Kubuntu 9.10 this happens as well but I found if you go into system settings >
Appearance > GTK+Appearance and change the Widget Style from QTCurve to Raleigh it no
longer crashes. you can then change back to QTCurve so Firefox doesn't look ugly.

AND

Also, if you want a selection install all available gtk+ themes from synaptic and you
can choose a look that fits better with your kde theme. all gtk+ themes I tried
worked fine, the only one that seems to crash winff is QTCurve
