Gecko: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.1.

It's usually a X bug when it crashes...

That makes sense.  I found this in Xorg.0.log:

Backtrace:

Fatal server error:

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

Yep, if the server crashes, it's not firefox's fault -- the X server should never crash in response to client commands.  Nothing we can do really, sorry :(  You may want to report this to red hat, especially since you're using RHEL.
