We observed the same problem.  It was reported as Bug 291714, but
there's no further activity on the bug since the beginning of May.  So
Sun's Mozilla accessibility build is unusable on Debian.

We tried to use Firefox as well.  It doesn't segfault but has another
fatal bug -- it often starts reading a particular line of paragraph and
no other line of that paragraph.
