I had that too some half year ago or so. I fixed it by changing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The one that is generated by nvidia omits most of the modules

bad: Section "Module" Load "glx" EndSection

good: Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "fbdevhw" Load "record" EndSection

I'm not sure which combination of modules actually fixed it; but this is what I'm running now since June, without crash of Firefox or other window.

Just wondering if anyone might be seeing any similar frequent crashes of Firefox/GNOME/Nautilus lately. I have a couple of users who have reported a problem like this. Any ideas are welcome. Latest CentOS 5.5 w/patches, latest nVidia graphics driver, firefox from repos.
