I recompiled firefox with debug enabled and it no longer crashes showing a
dialog offering plugin download of the type audio/mid. So the lack of midi
plugin looks to be the cause of the crash.

I've just discovered only the GTK2 version of firefox is affected.

No crash here: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040329
Firefox/0.8.0+

I do NOT have a midi plugin, the download plugin dialog came up, no crash.

As I wrote previously, the unstripped debug version doesn't crash either.

Checked again today with:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040406 Firefox/0.8.0+
and don't see the crash any more.

Attachment: Backtrace

This may be different bug, but I went to the URl specified, after
a longish delay some totally distorted sound appeared, and after 
pressing the back button, I got this crash.
