In my experience these errors mostly refer to the active Qt theme and some
complications in using them with Gtk for one reason or another.
If I use the Plastik theme, all is well. If I use Liquid or Baghira, Firefox
will crash (not yet tried with 1.0.3). This is very annoying.
In (k)Ubuntu this doesn't happen, probably because there is no integration
with Qt taking place. I have also had certain Firefox themes crash the
browser regardles of Qt theme.

As I said, I haven't tried yet on 1.0.3, but it was very apparent with the
Firefox delivered originally.

/Martin.
