 Replying to [comment:5 cypherpunks]:
 > I did try Firefox 17 ESR vanilla (non-TBB version) on 32-bit Debian
 (same system I noticed the problem) and it is pretty smooth; this problem
 doesn't exhibit itself.

 I don't have experience building Firefox on a wide variety of Linux
 systems, but my past experience in trying to support various Firefox
 extensions is that obscure bugs often show up in non-Mozilla Linux builds.
 These are more than likely toolchain-related... so it might be wise to
 duplicate the build environment that Mozilla uses for their official
 builds as much as possible.  I am not sure where to obtain all of the
 details though.
