flash is the reason for all your problems, although it might differ from os to os. test this and if it works keep it: get the FlashBlock addon from firefox, then enter a site that usually crashes, if it works, it should work just fine from there on if you just click on the icon that shows where the flash app was supposed to be and it will run just fine.
Apparently (and this happened in my case, I may be the only person), firefox crashed when loading flash at the first load of a web page. If it was loaded afterward it worked just fine.
But then... there you have it, this is why we can't have nice things.

Flash 9 for linux is buggy. Try Flash 7. Flash 10 beta is out haven't tried it.
