Tony, this looks like an error in one of your add-ons. Please try Firefox Safe Mode and let us know if you can still reproduce the crash or not. Thanks. (Firefox Safe Mode temporarily disables add-ons and themes, this test will help us narrow down the cause of the problem) See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode
Thanks Mats; looks like you're right about this. I've been running over four hours in safe mode with no problems. Apologies for an un-necessary bug (but at least I know to make this check in future while I'm testing betas)
It seems my previous comment was incorrect - even with no extensions the problem is still recurring - evidently I just didn't go to the right places while I was testing. I have reproduced this problem with a completely empty profile (cleared out to make sure absolutely nothing had been added to the default profile.) It *SEEMS* to be in some way related to the browser waiting for content that the page is requesting from a different server, when the second server is failing to respond quickly enough (on the basis that I often see "waiting for <IP address>" in the status bar when it locks up. Although this is happening on a lot of sites, it seems particularly regular with news articles and pages linked from them on http://www.nieuwsblad.be - an example of a page that has hung my browser several times in the last ten minutes is http://www.nieuwsblad.be/Article/Detail.aspx?articleid=DMF29122007_024 which seems to hang the browser every time within a few seconds of being accessed.

Note: this only occurs with Beta 2 - Beta 1 appears to have no problems with the same page.
The Pango error messages looks like it could be bug 404112. It's fixed in current trunk builds if you want to try that: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

No luck, I'm afraid. I downloaded that and (with another clean profile) went to the page I mentioned above. Within a few seconds the browser had hung again.
Right, I can reproduce the hang in a current nightly on http://www.nieuwsblad.be/ and in a debug build I get: *** glibc detected *** /OBJDIR/usr/moz/checkin/mozilla/dist/bin/firefox-bin: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000002184e00 *** then crash with js_FinalizeStringRT called from nsCycleCollector::Collect Probably related to bug 409063 / bug 409208.
