Uninstalling the gecko-mediaplayer package solves the issue and the iTunes store albums are browsable without crash.

SVN r388 of gecko-mediaplayer should have a patch for this.

Unsetting the need retracing tag, there is no retracer left running on that version of Ubuntu, the crash will need to be manually retraced

tags: removed: need-amd64-retrace

This bug was fixed in the package gecko-mediaplayer - 1.0.0-0ubuntu1

---------------
gecko-mediaplayer (1.0.0-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  [ Cesare Tirabassi ]
  * Update dependencies list (xulrunner, midbrowser and firefox-3.5)
  * Add konqueror, opera and chromium in long description
  * Removed all symlinks, lookup is now implemented upstream by all
    compatible packages (Closes: #581807).
    This may (and likely will) break backports.
  * Updated watch file in line with new google code standard
    (thanks D. Leidert)

  [ Julien Lavergne ]
  * New upstream release (LP: #693867)
   - Fix crash when loading iTunes store (LP: #569682)
  * debian/rules:
   - Build without gconf support, which should fix the hang with chromium
    (LP: #545209).
  * debian/patches/90_svn420_fix_null.patch:
   - From upstream, fix NULL pointer errors (LP: #709277)
  * debian/patches/91_svn421_disable_npp_initialize.patch:
   - From upstream, fix FTBFS with new xulrunner.
  * debian/control:
   - Drop build-depends on quilt, handle by format 3.0.
  * debian/patches/01_xulrunner-20.patch:
   - Drop, replace by upstream patch 91_svn421_disable_npp_initialize.patch.
