Please retry it with a nightly developer build (Deer Park) because the Gecko in
FF1.0.4 is over 12+ months old.
And please also post a Talkback ID from such a crash in a trunk build that you
started in the Firefox safemode.

marking invalid (out-of-date build and without steps to reproduce or Talkback ID)

i allow firefox to update. this is what the about says "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4" so it can't be
that. it normally happens when i go to mail.yahoo.com, or 4chan.org. those are
the main sites that it does the closing of the browser

You are using the latest Firefox Release Version (Firefox1.0.4) but this Release
is based on a 12+ months old Gecko. 
(Gecko is a part of Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird and it's the component that
does the rendering, Networking etc.)

The Gecko 12+ months old because Firefox1.0.4 is basically Firefox1.0 plus
additional security fixes but nothing more.
Too old means that bug reports doesn't help developing Gecko and bugzilla is
only a place for the developers to track their work and it's not for support.
(You can use the mozillazine.org Forums for support questions)

Again,there are a few problems with your bug report:
a) FF1.0.4 is too old (it doesn't matter that it's the latest release).
b) We need a talkback ID from those crashes because tehy are random
c) You have to crash Firefox in the Firefo safemode to be sure that no extension 
is causing the crashes.

That means: We need Talkback Crash IDs from a current developer nightly build
running in the safemode or with a new Profile.
