I recently downloaded the firefox source and did my own build, just to see if the failures might have been due to some small incompatibility between the target system the official binaries are built for, and my box. Sad to say that while it may not die as often, it still does it.
This doesn't answer the original poster's question, but....
As far as Firefox is concerned you might want to try giving 3.0b2 a try. I found it to be significantly more stable than the 1.5.X branch under Winders and on various Macs (haven't gotten around to trying it on a CentOS 5.X desktop box yet).
Hey Chris, a blast from the past (remember the old Coherent newsgroups??)
Well, From 1.0, or perhaps even earlier, up thru 2.0.whatever-todays-release is I've always had that issue. It's largely nothing more than a modest irritant since I can reopen the same page(s)/window(s) I had open before the crash.
I'll probably take a look at version 3 one of these days, thanks for reminding me.
