Correction: 
the URL 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unicode_characters
loads fine, but URL with capital U
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters
crashes X server.

The same Firefox build, but on Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 3.5.9), can't reproduce the crash. Most likely not a Firefox bug then.
