Have you previously been running FF2 and upgraded to FF3?  I ask since I was 
plagued with seg faults after doing an upgrade.  The cure was to record all 
the plugins and themes I had installed the move my .mozilla directory to 
.mozilla-ff2 and allow ff3 to recreate and go through the download and 
install process for all the themes/plugins again.

Now, everything is working well.
