I have the same exact issue.
Thanks for the workaround

FWIW, I'm using eclipse from upstream and Sun's Java 1.6.0_06 and I am getting the same crashes after upgrading Firefox today on Fedora 9. On a Fedora 8 system eclipse runs just fine.

The Java hs_err file reports that the problematic frame is in libxul.so.

I'm installing eclipse-jdt right now to confirm.

I am seeing the same behaviour. Thanks for the workaround!

I'm having the same issue. As workaround I'm using Eclipse 3.4 RC4 for the moment.

Yep, this is also working for me, too.

What yum command did you use to do the downgrade?
