The "org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: XPCOM error -2147467262" in your .log indicates that you're seeing bug 213194.  The Browser is trying to use a beta xulrunner 1.9 /firefox 3.0 with an interface that changed in the final release.  To make this work you need to upgrade your beta xulrunner 1.9/firefox 3.0 to the final release (possibly via your OS's update manager).

If doing this does not help then please follow up here.
