Firefox, long quite stable, has crashed 3 times today, generally while doing nothing in particular, i.e. running in background. Has anyone else noticed this? Could there be some connection with the new version of flash, which was released just yesterday? From /var/log/yum.log: ... Mar 12 23:17:14 Updated: flash-plugin-11.2.202.275-release.x86_64 ... jon

Disable the flash plugin (in safemode if you have to) and see if this continues.

Just did that, and Firefox crashed after about 10 minutes of use. So it's not flash.
Further problems (all with flash disabled) at: 3/13 at 23:19 crash 3/13 at 23:48 crash 3/14 at 00:19 froze (didn't respond to keyboard or mouse) 3/14 at 00:40 crash
And not bad memory, since I haven't had any trouble with other programs, also ran memtest86+ for a couple of passes without finding anything bad.

For what it's worth, Thunderbird crashes often on my own machine, if for any reason I have to shut it down, or log off, after two or more hours of use. Sometimes the only remedy is to shut down the machine itself and let it cool off for an hour or so. I have the Mozilla Bug Reporter installed, so I assume I'm making regular reports of this problem every time it happens. And they've never solved it.
I used to have a problem with Firefox crashing in the middle of an interactive session. And sometimes I have to kill it when it starts taking up half my CPU resources to run some script or other. But I haven't seen anything like what Jon is describing--not with Firefox, anyway.

If you really have to let it cool off for an hour or so, it might be a fan issue. Have you checked?

Please, try to start Firefox with new profile. Remove (first do backup if needed) all profile files from your home directory: rm -rf .mozilla/firefox/ . Then try to run Firefox from terminal - it should report serious errors there.

Have you solve this issue? If not, have you installed some extension? Did you try running it with extensions disabled? Did you try running it from console to see what happens when it crashes or frozes?
