Well, that update is critical for security, so I would try to help find
the issues (we can feed back to RH and help them fix) .. rather than
using something with critical security issues to browse the web.

Some things that can help here:

1.  A site where you always get a crash.

2.  If you also have access to RHEL-6, test the firefox from RHEL-6 on
the same site to verify if this is a RHEL or CentOS issue.

Thanks,
