User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031024 Debian/1.5-2

I was running FB 0.7, but about two days ago it started freezing on me. I
noticed it in earnest when I googled for "apt::cache". Before the results came
up, FB froze. Later I noticed FB freezing when I went to www.wired.com. Wired
starts to appear; I can see most of the article blurbs, but then the "fluff"
(ads, etc) start appearing and FB freezes. Since I started FB from the command
line, I do get to see some errors:
Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list
This error repeats about 5 or 6 times.

So I renamed my /usr/local/MozillaFirebird folder and my ~/.phoenix folder and
downloaded the newest nightly and installed it. Same behaviour.

-> WFM on latest Linux trunk build.  Also, we don't support vendor modified
builds.  If you see this on official current trunk builds feel free to reopen. 
Otherwise, if you only see it on Debian builds, file a bug with the Debian people.
