For the record, I have been using Michael Harris' 3.5 Firefox without any issues at all and with some speed benefits. I hope Mr. Harris is not discouraged by the bug reports and will, at his convenience, roll up the latest and greatest version.
Yeah, I know that not everyone is having trouble with the CentOS 5.3 and Firefox 3.5 combination. That's why I'm guessing it's got something to do with specific graphic drivers in Xorg. Both my brother and I use the basic Intel graphics cards that came with our Optiplex computers (he has a GX520, I've got a GX270).
And, I definitely didn't mean to criticize Michael Harris -- I was very happy that he provided a Firefox 3.5 repository -- that's partly why I started this thread, to make sure that everyone knew that it was *not* a problem specifically tied to his package.
I have Firefox 3.5 (the mozilla.com version) on CentOS 5.3 using an Intel card and it has caused X to restart on a couple of occasions.
I am shifting back to the 3.0 version in the repo.
