Firefox (v3.6.3) crashes when it hits a 404 page served by Apache (i.e. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/Support+Website+Forums) only if the latest version of Google Toolbar is installed and enable.html5 is true in about:config. In the case of only Google toolbar being installed (html5 is disabled), then the regular Apache 404 page is replaced with the "Oops, Firefox could not open this page for some reason" error page. I have reproduced this multiple times and on a fresh install of the latest stable release of Firefox on a Windows 7 VM. Crash report from fresh install crash is found at: http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/af2ce133-8365-4a09-a2ac-4793f2100521

> and enable.html5 is true in about:config. That's not a supported configuration for 3.6.3. The html5 parser in 3.6.x is pre-alpha testing quality only; it has numerous known crash bugs that were fixed after the branchpoint. You're not supposed to be using the html5 parser on the 3.6 brach.

And Google toolbar is binary, which means it could be causing the crashes itself.
A number of nsIParser::Terminate() bugs have been fixed since 3.6 branched, so it's fair to believe this has been fixed on trunk.
