I've been getting the Segmentation Faults, too, but the error message is 
different:

** (firefox:19097): WARNING **: Exception in gr::RangeSegment

It's repeated multiple times in a *normal* run of FF3.  Sometimes I get 
the Segmentation Fault.  Mostly, the error display (which includes a lot 
of lines about loading stuff and a memory dump) just stops in mid-line 
and FF freezes.

This started when I had to reinstall due to a motherboard failure.  
Before that, FF3 had been working fine, though I don't know if the 
"normal" error messages were apprearing as I only started running it 
from the terminal to see why it kept crashing after the reinstall.
