Im going to have to burst your bubble.
Im running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9, and applied your patch,
and Firefox crashes on your test site, and on my own site (of which it 
didn't before the patch).
Just to make sure, Im going to reinstall the previous version of 
Firefox, just to make
sure that it doesn't crash on my own site.
I'll report back when I get it reinstalled...
