Hmm. I can't recall that I ever had firefox installed other than via Debian 
packages.  I may have done some wild up- and downgrading at times through.  
So I guess unless others have this issue this can be safely ignored.

gdb is the version from squeeze, build-essential is also installed so I have 
a quite complete toolchain.

It's very minor for me since I only wanted to provide a backtrace for my 
other problem, so tag it moreinfo, unreproducible, or close it if you wish.  
I'm not really motivated enough to dig into this to debug it.
