Have just done a major post-installation update, which seems to
have cleared this problem.

I found this in the Errata:

"See also Bug #33579 and update advisory MDKA-2007:100. The package
included with Mandriva Linux 2008 for gtk+2.0, the GTK+ graphical
toolkit, contained a bug which caused Firefox to crash sometimes when
opening the Print Preview window. An updated set of gtk+2.0 packages,
gtk+2.0-2.12.1-2.1mdv2008.0, was released through the official update
channels on October 30th, 2007 that resolves this issue."

I had this problem too under Mandriva 2007.1. On both my (32 bit) machines
now running Mandriva 2008.0 and regularly auto-updated by Firefox, the
problem has gone. I am using 2.6.22.9-1mdv recompiled on one and
2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv on the other (probably identical).

I draw no conclusions about this but lately I have been updating (everything
else) pretty regularly.
