No, but the problem isn't FC specific.
I run the stock version of Firefox 2.0.0.2 on RHELv4-U4 and the same thing
happens occasionally. I've not searched the Mozilla/Firefox forums so I
don't know if it is a reported problem. In any event, with 2.0, when
Firefox crashes like that it will offer to restore your previous session so
you don't lose much time.
