The BLFS book has instructions to move the NSPR libs to /usr/lib so
other applications can use them. Apparently you overlooked removing
them. It doesn't really matter as I'm fairly certain that unless you
specifically tell Firefox to use the system-installed libs, it will
use the libs sources from the source tree to create new ones and
install them in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6.

This wasn't really something I thought would fix things, more than
anything just curious how they got there.

Probably.

At this point, I'm not sure what to tell you. It has been my
experience that *every* time there's been an issue with Firefox
segfaulting being reported to the list, it has turned out to be
and issue with the TrueType font setup.

But you said you've double and triple checked this.

At this point, I would install the binary version of Firefox and
see if it runs okay. It it too has problems, then you've got some
issues with your *system* and not with building firefox.
