Update:

Now FF3 won't start at all.  I get the following error repeated a few times:

** (firefox:32394): WARNING **: Exception in gr::RangeSegment

In safe-mode that's all I get and a frozen unresponsive GUI.  In normal 
mode I get:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox: realloc(): invalid 
next size: 0x090cc758 ***

And a long backtrace, which itself freezes after a large amount of data 
is printed.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?  Am I alone in having 
problems like this?
