Knowing what build of Firebird you are using is important but you didn't report it.

Does it occur in a new profile?

I hope that this will help:

I tried to run Firebird in terminal and after Firebird crashed there was:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkselection.c: line 597 (gtk_selection_convert):
assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

Alexejs, did you also try to create a new profile as suggested by Bill? If so,
please report back - additionally your build is rather old (over two month) so
I'd kindly ask you to 

- download latest 0.7 Release Candidate from

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-0.7/

- create an additional new, vanilla profile without installing any themes /
extensions
- and to re-test your problem

I tried Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031003 Firebird/0.7

This build didn't crash anytime last week.
