issues with a certain

From the following: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487844
Apparently if you rebuild nspr @ gcc 4.4 with -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
I haven't confirmed this, as I haven't had time to jump back to 4.4 but if
someone can confirm
this fixes the issue, I'd certainly be greatful!
I'm still at 4.3.4, and having these problems. I wouldn't be holding my breath
for a silver bullet.
I'm writing this on chormium, having just given up on Opera for being slow as
FF. Sigh.

Are you compiling nspr with -O3 by any chance ? The flag that is responsible was apparently moved
from -O3 in gcc 4.3* to -O2 in 4.4*.
Are you getting the seg fault when you strace firefox ?
