Take a screenshot of that crash pop up
upload pic to SUSE Paste
Then cross link the image here
This would give a better idea about what is really happening.
Also try running the application from terminal/console and paste output within
tags. USE the '#' button in the forum editor to insert code tags.
There might be corruption of profile. Close application. Rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozailla-old (doing this will create new profile when application is opened again) and re-open firefox to check whether *odd* the behaviour is still there.

imo: instead of using whatever you find in OBS, i’d recommend you try
using the latest versions released by openSUSE, for openSUSE 12.3 –
those would be the ones which flow in from the update repo by running
either YaST Online Update or “zypper patch”…
those versions which have been released via update should run as
expected…and if not someone in this forum might be able to help out
with learning what is wrong…
of course, if you wish to test unreleased OBS software you are free
to do so (thank you for testing!)…but questions about problems when
doing that should be directed to the sub-forum named
“Pre-Release/Beta - Questions about pre-release versions of openSUSE
Linux (software & hardware)” at http://tinyurl.com/2du7r4s
because that is where the software testers hang out…and it is them
who might also be running that version…and, can help you decide if
you should file a bug report or not…(that is, it is unlikely
someone can help you find a work around or otherwise solve the
“unwanted behavior” on your system…unless of course it is only on
your system and caused by incorrect setup, or whatever)

i was just going by what the OP said (that it came from OBS)…perhaps
i do not understand.
do you have the same crash warning when closing? if not, maybe you
can help the OP discover why the two systems have different reactions
to the same action…(maybe just assume the OP’s system is damaged,
corrupted, setup incorrectly, etc etc etc…or that bug is required,
whatever you two determine…)

forgot to mention, i do not know if you have enabled mozilla repo(s)
outside of oss, non-oss or update, and it was from there that you too
installed the same version as the OP…but, it is possible to do so
with apper without taking extra steps (as would be required in either
YaST or with zypper…like using the “switch vendor” or “–from
<alias|name|#|URI>” YaST/zypper switch)
it is a well documented danger that if the system includes enabled
and updated repos other than those basic five safe repos (see the
paragraph beginning with “IMPORTANT” in this post http://tinyurl.com/33qc9vu) that running apper can be a
VERY dangerous system killer…because it may introduce conflicting
software in a way which none of YaST Software Management, YaST Online
Update or “zypper patch” would do…

Edit: there is an add image icon (likecode/#) but what ever it does is below this edit and does not show up in my post??? That’s why I edited and pasted the url above.
Thanks everyone for helpful replies. Trying to answer all in one post. I have Mozilla 12.3 repo enabled in >Yast>Software Repositories>Community repos. That is from OpenSuSE Build Service. However current versions show MozillaFirefox vendor as ‘obs://build.opensuse.org/mozilla’ but MozillaThunderbird vendor is ‘openSUSE’. So only Firefox is from OBS yet both had same issue.
And I should have mentioned that I am using KDE4. It appears that QTCurve is the problem. Changing >SystemSettings>Application Appearance>GTK Configuration>Select a GTK-2 theme to oxygen-gtk corrects this problem.
In retrospect I could have been more through in my original post.:shame:
After creating the paste. I right click and choose view image on SeaMonkey{The option might be different on other browsers}. It then gives me image url http://paste.opensuse.org/images/37100491.png
I can then share it as a pic using the “image” icon in the post editor
as you now know - this warning is not related to your crash - but the information is correct. In 12.3 the fonts.conf file in your home directory is deprecated.
Should be safe to go ahead and delete that file.
just fyi . . .
and update to to kde 4.10.2 and qtcurve 1.8.14-58.2 fixes the problem.
I’m not sure exactly which of those two updates corrected the problem though as the bug report in openSUSE bugzilla is still open.
