No - I too have this problem, and can't find a solution.  It broke with 
some commits back around Dec 20th, 2005 from Alexander Kabaev I think.   
I mentioned it, and his response was something like:

-
The segfault was caused by *((char *)0) = 0; statement that I forgot to
remove from the source before committing. Now firefox does not segfault
but properly fails to load plugin due to inadequate versioning
emulation by flash[67].so wrappers.
-

See the thread with a subject of:
[openoffice]no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
