Subject: *** stack smashing detected ***: ./firefox-bin terminated

How should I handle this:

even if I move the firefox package to /usr/lib64
this still occurs.

I would like to keep stack protection,
but having firefox crash over any flash content
is unattractive.

should I try firefox about this, or change something in the kernel?
