CentOS - Feb 2010 - annoying random Firefox crash - how to debug?

Hi,

My firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6)
Gecko/20091216 Fedora/3.5.6-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.6) on Gnome 2.26.3 will
randomly crash, without any errors. /var/log/messages & /var/log/Xorg.0.log
doesn't show anything that caused any errors. And it doesn't matter on
which
website(s) I'm busy with, it will just crash.

Does anyone know how to check for a problem?

My PC has:

Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core E5200 CPU
4GB DDRII Corsair RAM
3x 160GB SATAII HDD
Asus Nvidia 8800GT graphics card.


I have updated to the latest nVidia drivers

[root at Rudi-PC ~]# dmesg  | grep nvidia
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

P.S. This is on Fedora Core 12, but it's RH based, so I thought maybe
someone on this list might have some insight into the problem?

The first thing to do is disable all firefox plugins and see if the
problem goes away.

Latest stable or latest beta?

Anyway, if your card works with opensource version of driver, then try it.
