I had the same problem in the i386 version of 10.3.  You might try starting 
firefox from a command window; see if you also get the "corrupted 
double-linked list" message that I did, along with a backtrace.   If you have 
any extra users on your machine, try logging in as one of them and see if you 
have the same problem (or log in as root).  In my case, I solved the problem 
but the cure (unintentional) was worse than the disease: I deleted my .kderc 
file.  So I'm pretty sure that the problem lies in some corruption 
within .kderc, probably a version incompatibility -- but I don't know how you 
can find it.

Good luck!
