Here's a twist that may be useful for differentially debugging this problem:
I recently switched to fedora8_x86_64, but I stayed with a 32b version of firefox, because it was easier to get Java to work that way.
Since this change, I have NOT seen the bug. No more disembodied windows, no
gtk console messages. However,instead, firefox has started crashing regularly,
and it tends to correlate with visiting previously mentioned popular sites that tend to exercise the original bug.
To complicate matters, this is with a slightly newer firefox binary (2.0.0.10),
but presumably someone else can confirm that 2.0.0.10 is stil buggy when run on a 32b linux.
Here's the plain and smple error message:
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.10/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 31854 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
