I did some cleaning up today and tried again. Here's what I did:

cd /usr/lib
rm -rf mozill*
cast -c -r firefox
cast nss flash j2sdk-bin
cleanse (came up empty)

Firefox 0.9.2 seems rock solid on my laptop now. However, on my work-box it
crashes almost immediately. At least the error is reproducable now:

/usr/lib/firefox-0.9.2/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 9369 Segmentation fault
"$prog" ${1+"$@"}

I compiled it with pentium3 optimization. I know optimization can be tricky
for mozilla-related stuff so I'm going to try with normal pentium to see if
that works for me.

By the way, ruskie: thanks for adding 0.8.0 firefox to your grimoire.. at
least I have a fall-back now :-)
