Answer 1

There's a bug in Mozilla that will cause it to crash when you install a certain application or a certain add-on to the browser. I'm using Firefox and got the same problem as yours. My advice is just don't surf the site that will cause it to crash, or remove all add-ons on the browser or change to Firefox 3.0.

(You can remove add-ons at Tools>Ad-ons)

seems there is some recently added software that is causing this, had this problem also, removed a program and now ok, have you downloaded the newest firefox, I assume you are using firefox?, there were an number of bug fixes
