Firefox 3.6.6 crashes trying printing related actions

Hello, since 3.6.4 (I think) Firefox keep on crashing every time I try to "Print", or "Print Preview", or "Page Setup". Delete the .mozilla directory to start with a new profile without extensions, doesn't change anything. Launching firefox from command line doesn't give any extra information.
I have a stock Slackware64 (full install) on another partition that doesn't suffer this problem, so I think that maybe there are new dependencies (for printing) from mozilla side.
Anyway, am I the only one to have this problem?
Thanks.

Yep, here too. Looks like we're going to have yet another firefox version update within a few days.
The problem also exists in the nightly binaries distributed by mozilla, so it's not just a slackware bug.
But apparently printing works fine in Salix 13.0 (32-bit).

Even more strange... it works fine here with stock, full install, Slackware64 13.1. Could it be that Salix miss some "new" Firefox dependency?

There seems to be a conflict between firefox and our gnome-vfs package. If you remove it, printing will work, but then other stuff that depends on gnome-vfs probably won't.

Unbelievable! From here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... rd-816854/ I red:
I think I found the problem - I had gnome-vfs 2.24.3 installed, removed it and the printing issues were over.
... and it's true! I can confirm that removing gnome-vfs "fix" the Firefox printing problem.
Gapan, could u post a reply on linuquestions forum? I don't have an account there.
Thanks

I tried to compile and install the slackbuilds.org gnome-vfs: same problem!
How can be the Firefox printing framework and gnome-vfs related?
Sound strange...
