OK, I did that:
# rm -Rf .mozilla/firefox (I don't have a .phoenix)
# sudo urpme mozilla-firefox
# sudo urpmi mozilla-firefox

Then I installed the adblocker.
Then I go to Yahoo!Mail -> No ads blocked, ah well
Then I click on Inbox => crash
Here's the log:
[wim@dundas wim]$ mozilla-firefox --sync 
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared
library /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined
symbol: _ZTV16nsQueryInterface]

(Gecko:10504): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_add_group: assertion

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 31 error_code 168 request_code 145 minor_code 2)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
