 I was just about to try that when your email came. :) If I use a 
 different user account using MWM as the window manager, firefox works. 
 Using that same user but running firefox from a KDE session, firefox 
 will crash! Switching back to MWM fixes it again. Seems to be a 
 KDE/firefox thing.

 They just bought out the company that recently bought out our local ISP. :)

 Updated. Thx.
