John, as you probably know, shipping official Firefox binaries is not an option for source-based Linux distros. So I would assume that most Linux users end up using non-official binaries, whether 32-bit or 64-bit, built by their distributions and not Mozilla. And usually they carry patches not present in official Firefox builds, and they may build against slightly different libraries etc. In short, most users on the Linux platform will use Firefox binaries other than the ones provided by Mozilla. Now this time around we had a bug affecting 64-bit builds, next time it can be a Ubuntu-specific bug in the 32-bit version. You could dismiss that too as an unsupported build, but the fact is that this is what people are using. As for those who complain about the crashes: the situation is pretty simple, there was a bug in Firefox, it was fixed, and complaining here doesn't help. Wait until your distro ships Firefox 3.6, or backports the fix like Debian did, or use some other working binary.
