Firefox/Mozilla/Epiphany/Gecko Segfaults

Hello, it seems my gecko based browsers seem to segfault on bbs.archlinux.org and other pages, I've searched for topics related to this in the forums but found none .

/opt/mozilla-firefox/lib/firefox-1.0/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 13710 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Is anyone else having this problem?? This is rather nasty

Thanks in advance,
Joao.

EDIT:
Found out what was wrong. Seems the crashes were related to a dependency of libXfixes.so.3 that xorg 6.7.0 did not supply. An upgrade to xorg solved it. Nevertheless filed a bug report because several apps do not enforce xorg >= 6.8.0 in order to satisfy the dependency.

I had the same problem. Turns out the memory was bad. (memtest86 may not pick it up - it didn't for me).

Just re-install firefox.  I had the same problem and that fixed it for me.
