If anyone can reproduce this, please attach the Android log to this bug.  You can get the log using the "adb logcat" command from the Android SDK, or the aLogCat app from the Android Market.

This issue *may* be related to Android 2.1:
David writes: "I had found out that acer released the 2.2 OS for the Liquid e. After installing said upgrade I have now been working with Firefox successfully and without issue!
I hope I have somehow contributed to the development of this app in some way through this experience. I will be revising my review of this app on the android market to a full five stars. Best wishes to you and all the development team of Firefox."

There was a 2.1 crasher fixed recently bug 611163 - Fennec doesn't start due a problem with "ashmem buffer" in DDMS. Which may help this user.

Problem doesn't occur on Acer Liquid E running Froyo (2.2) on Liquid Community Rom (LCR-F 2.0)

Closing since Fennec now requires Android 2.2 or later (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements).
