Actually, in this case, it's errors being thrown by mozilla (or something 
that uses the mozilla rendering engine).  It's a property of GTK and Glib 
that even when "critical" errors arise, such as invalid data types being 
passed, somehow some of the apps keep running.

Anyway, if you're pointing fingers, they should be pointed at Mozilla here 
for not doing the proper data safety checks.
