Just to close the loop on this.  It looks like after upgrading to the 
latest official packages available i can now run Firefox w/o crashing.  
I am still getting the UTF-8 error mentioned above, but have not 
segfaulted yet.  So apparently that error was a red herring.  
Interesting enough, firefox was *not* on the packages that was upgraded 
- so i assume a shared library was updated that trigger the fault.
