Justin, could you go to mozilla.org, click on the developers tab, download a nightly build at the bottom of 
the page, and try retesting this bug with that?

Done. It appears to work now.

I also have this problem.  I have a very stable 10.4.2 system with the latest
Firefox.  I run Safari and Firefox side by side but use FF as my default
broweser.  There are quite a few sites that make FF unexpectedly quit and
without exception, each of those troublesome site work perfectly well in Safari.

Thats not a scientific report but it does indicate that there is something
amiss.  Thats all I can tell you.

Marking WFM for the reporter from comment 4 - trunk build working fine, branch
build had the problem.

Comment 5 is a different issue to the origional report.
