Package: iceweasel
Version: 4.0.1-2

Maybe this is related (iceweasel running in a fvwm).

Firefox crashes if:
- when I want open download manager window ( Tools -> Downloads ) and
  list is not empty (if list is empty everything is OK)
- when I want download file (any file)
- when I want open preferences window (Edit -> Preferences)

/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so: undefined symbol: gnome_vfs_unescape_string

(libgnomevfs2-0 -> libfile.so)
(aptitude why libgnomevfs2-0)
i   eclipse-plugin-cvs Depends    eclipse-platform (= 3.5.2-9) 
i A eclipse-platform   Depends    eclipse-rcp (= 3.5.2-9)      
i A eclipse-rcp        Recommends libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 1:2.17.90

What temporarly works (without remove gnome-vfs stuff and dependences):

(/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf)

# temporary solution (so far without any negative impact on other
# applications)
# comment this line to avoid firefox crash
#file: file
