Firefox

I played with mozilla-firefox.spec today and managed to get more or
less working firefox. I disabled freetype2 and enabled xft because
firefox starts then and after all offical realeses seem to be built
this way. The issues with faq.fedora.pl (see pld-users) and search
engines crashing firefox were fixed by removing --enable-native-uconv.
I have no idea why it breaks stuff, I just wanted to get rid of these
problems. I'm not sure about the memory corruption issue (strange
characters) - I haven't seen any wrongly rendered page so far.
Could someone provide any URL that is 100% testcase, so I could
check it.
