IMHO, a better approach, that doesn't sacrifice the latest security
enhancements, is to manually install the official Firefox build from
Mozilla.org following the instructions posted at Daniel Robitaille's
blog[1]. When the fixed FF appears in the Dapper updates, one has just
to remove the symlink /usr/local/bin/firefox and start using the native
FF build.

According to the numerous posts at ubuntuforums.org, the crash doesn't
affect only mailman lists, but also other login pages -- a situation
that the current official FF build manages without any complaints, so
far.
