[gentoo-user] firefox crashes

[Simon]

Hi,
   recently (dunno why or when exactly) firefox has started crashing when 
loading certain pages.  Two pages I'm used to access often that are causing the 
problem are my banking site (once logged in) and linode.com/members...  the 
error is a bit cryptic and may involve javascript (see the error below).

I tried recompiling firefox, but got the exact same result...  so I tried a 
`emerge -e mozilla-firefox`, (which btw, on the cheapest linode took a bit more 
than 3 hours).  So, the host basically compilled the binpkgs and i installed 
them on my desktop, same issue happened after...

Here's the use flags for ff, also all files related to portage config 
(make.conf,etc) are exactly the same on all my machines, only world is different.

[ebuild   R   ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.17  USE="bindist debug ipv6 
java xinerama -filepicker -gnome -iceweasel -mozdevelop -moznopango 
-restrict-javascript -xforms -xprint" LINGUAS="-af -ar -be -bg -ca -cs -da -de 
-el -en -en_GB -en_US -es -es_AR -es_ES -eu -fi -fr -fy -fy_NL -ga -ga_IE -gu 
-gu_IN -he -hu -it -ja -ka -ko -ku -lt -mk -mn -nb -nb_NO -nl -nn -nn_NO -pa 
-pa_IN -pl -pt -pt_BR -pt_PT -ro -ru -sk -sl -sv -sv_SE -tr -uk -zh -zh_CN 
-zh_TW" 0 kB

Folks that deal with firefox really frown upon gentoo and tend to stop 
supporting me because of that (saying gentoo is mostly a broken distribution, 
probably just because it's easy for newbies to break things, deps, etc).
Now that I have recompiled everything properly maybe they'll help me out, but I 
thought maybe you guys here could help also?

Here's the full output of ff when doing: `firefox linode.com/members`:

Here note that the first line that mentions the exception correspond to the 
moment the window appears (and disapears right after).

Thanks in advance!
