I have open tabs:
1) http://www.google.ru/search?complete=1&hl=ru&lr=&newwindow=1&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:ru,en-US:official&hs=dGC&q=%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA+%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%BE&start=10&sa=N
2) http://www.lingvisto.org/novgreka/alfabeto.html
3) http://www.mail.ru/
I clicked on link on 3-th tab (middle button of mouse, for opening in new tab), url is http://r.mail.ru/n20268249
Browser is crushed. I run browser again, selected repair session and can reproduse it. 
If I run from console, I got:
bash-3.2$ firefox
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 5860 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
bash-3.2$ firefox --sync
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.

Firfox for Windows doesn't affected and 2.x doesn't affected too.

Comment 3

[[:Aleksej]]

Probably there was a giant image or page to render. There is a few of such bugs (search for “BadAlloc”).

Comment 4

Opening these 4 URLs in tabs doesn't cause any problems for me, using Firefox 3.7a1pre on Ubuntu 9.10.

Could be a dup of bug 424333.
