Some more analysis...

A new tab shows the top sites in a 5x3 preview grid. It seems that if for at
least one site a preview is not available, a plugin-container process is being
spawned which then crashes.

The plugin-container is started as follows:

/usr/local/lib/firefox/plugin-container -greomni /usr/local/lib/firefox/omni.ja
-appomni /usr/local/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja -appdir
/usr/local/lib/firefox/browser 3188 tab

3188 is the PID of the firefox main process.

Whenever such a plugin-container is killed, the following lines are added to
.xsession-errors:

(process:12117): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_path_get_basename: assertion 'file_name !=
NULL' failed

###!!! [Parent][MessageChannel] Error:
(msgtype=0x2C0076,name=PBrowser::Msg_Destroy) Channel error: cannot send/recv

So most likely the two processes - firefox and plugin-container - exchange some
information, with the plugin-container ultimately running out of memory and
crashing.

More info: plugin-container works fine for icedtea-web - I can start Java
plugins without a problem.
