 I have had the same problem with Firefox 3.6.x on a system with FreeBSD 7.x. 
 The reason was the use of the old library libc_r still being in /usr/lib. 
 Cleaning the system using "make check-old" and recompiling Firefox solved this 
 problem.
 
 Of course a good question is why does Firefox use this old library at all...?
 
 
 Kind regards
