Can you get us a TalkBackID for the crashes?
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

Also, does it crash with a new firefox profile?
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager

And what about with the latest build of firefox (2.0.0.3)

Please reopen this if you are able to confirm that this still happens with a clean profile - please include a talkback ID if possible if it still happens.

Sorry for the long wait time. 
"And what about with the latest build of firefox (2.0.0.3)" : i used the 2.0.0.3 version under gentoo now,and it works without any crashes.

when firefox crashs (under fedora core 6), i get no talkbackid. must i activate the quality feedback agent?

with a new profile i have'nt test this.
