Try disabling torbutton in firefox.

If that doesn't help please rebuild xulrunner with debug symbols and rerun it.

torbutton although installed is disabled. i think the problem is xulrunner, right?
Comment by Thomas Dziedzic (tomd123) - Saturday, 30 January 2010, 15:53 GMT
Disable all plugins, and close firefox, then start it again, if you can still reproduce it then rebuild xulrunner with debug symbols and post gdb output here. It's a null dereference.
