Strange firefox failure...

I have a new'ish, updated, install of kubuntu (Trinity) 10.04 and I installed firefox (10.0.2) from the repositories. When I (attempt to) launch firefox from the "K" menu, or from a copy of the "K" menu dragged and dropped on either the destop or the quick launch toolbar (where I _do_ want it), I get this (and only this) in /var/log/messages: Mar 9 16:50:56 nix4 kernel: [ 6233.488442] firefox[5703]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp bfa57b6c error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[110000+153000] (... all 1 line.) HOWEVER, if I open a konsole window and enter `firefox`, it works Just Fine. I've `apt-get`ted -remove(d) -purge , and re-installed. No joy. I have no such issue with the other installed browsers: Epiphany, Chromium, Opera, and (of course) konqueror... Where would I start looking? Googling (Advanced) yields nada. Thanks!
