Just recently, my Centos 6 has been "gentle crashing" where it doesn't crash, per se, but the screen goes black, and the login prompt pops up.
It only happens when I run Firefox and it only started happening this morning. However, it has happened a dozen times, and always when Firefox is running.
Your desktop is crashing, not the entire machine.
Try renaming ~/.mozilla to something else, then run firefox and see if it still crashes.
