Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I hate to report such an unusual bug, but it's happened numerous times
now, and I can't seem to get a better understanding on why it's failing.
So...

DOES:

0) From cli, start firefox (version 3.0)
1) Wait (typically overnight, though I still don't know why "overnight" has any 
value... maybe wait a very long time is better?
2) Note that Firefox is no longer running

Reviewing the cli output, here's what I see:

cairo context error: NULL pointer

pcm->frame_size)' failed.

Note that this last message is what appears to show up when Firefox
officially dies. I believe the preceding messages are generated during
normal Firefox operation.

SHOULD:

0) Firefox should not crash

I currently have the following add-ons installed in Firefox:

--FireFTP 0.99.1
--AdBlock Plus 0.7.5.5
--Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5
--URL Link 2.02.2
--Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer 2.0.47.4

To limit the potential causes of this bug, I will begin removing add-ons
one-by-one to see if I can still repro this bug.
