band-aid with some debugging output should be available on trunk dailies (firefox-3.6 and xulrunner-1.9.2) in https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa

Problem appears to be that XQueryTree somehow gives us a bad window; I haven't looked yet how that can happen or if that indicates a bug in X.

I noticed that i can trigger this more easily by using killall firefox-3.5 rather than shutting it down properly; from that it feels a bit like there is a window not properly removed from X.
