You can try to get a backtrace: The best would be to install the debuginfo package and run firefox within gdb LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib gdb /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/firefox/bin and collect the backtrace via gdb's bt command

Dirk, it seems to be in dragonegg. Can you please investigate?

kghostview requires a lot of KDE framework, which isn't available. so I blacklist postscript.
submitted for 10.1 currently, will request a backport for 10.0 when the other dragonegg bug is fixed.
