I'm forwarding the following on Will Walker's suggestion. The problem is
that 64-bit Firefox is breaking on Linux, when run with 64-bit AT-SPI.
Moving to 32-bit Firefox and 32-bit AT-SPI works--but, the 64-bit builds
shouldn't be breaking, either.

If I understand Will correctly, the attached debug indicates that AT-SPI
is never getting the message that Firefox has launched, even though I
can independently confirm that it has launched and retrieved the page
requested on the command line in Gnome Terminal.
