Consistant core dump with firefox and KSE

[Damian Gerow]

Aside from working out all the various plugin problems, my install of
firefox (0.9.1) really doesn't like using KSE.  I didn't fine anything via
Google, so my apologies if this is a duplicate.

Here's what I hope are the required bits of a gdb trace of the core:

    % gdb6 /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-0.9.1/firefox-bin --core=firefox-bin.core

I'm not sure what else would be required, but I can reproduce this bug at
will.
