which plugin Do you use to play video/quicktime (see "about:plugins") ?
Can you also please provide a talkback ID from that crash ?

Comment 2

As it turns out, I had both Xine plugin and MozPlugger installed.  If you
uninstall Xine plugin, it works fine on MozPlugger.  Also, if you uninstall
MozPlugger it works fine in Xine.  So, the crash seems to occur when both are
installed.

While I am now able to work around the problem, I would suggest that Firefox be
modified to handle this situation a bit more gracefully.

"I would suggest that Firefox be

That depends...
If a plugin caused this crash itself, this bug is invalid (and yes, we have an
enhancement bug that the plugins shouldn't run in the same process=can't kill Gecko)

We need a Talkback ID to see what is causing the crash...

Sorry, where can I find the traceback ID?

James: Talkback is a component of Firefox which, when installed, automatically
comes up after a Firefox crash and asks you to send some data to Mozilla. You
can supply, but that is no must, your email address, and it would be fine, if
you can supply the url, where the crash happened, and a short description. You
can look at the collected data, if you select detail, and remove some of them,
if you want to. You then decide if you want to send the report, or not. Talkback
is started automatically at crash, but it doesn´t talkback automatically, you
are always in control.

To use Talkback:
- you must download a talkback-enabled build
- you must have selected talkback for install at install time (!!!)
- you must enable it after a crash (it is then waiting in the task bar) 
- you can fill in some data, loook at the data collected.
- you must click at submit button to send the report, or cancel to not send.

When a report is send, the server sends back a Talkback ID. You can see this id,
if you start talkback.exe in your firefox/components directory. You can do so,
while Firefox is running, and give this number here in a comment. 
Developers then can see in which parts of the program Firefox was crashing.

PS - It would be nice to have copy/paste ability in the talkback utility...

I'm not expert in Linux, but it looks for me, that crash comes from outside
Mozilla code. Maybe you should check you font settings.
