First off, only rarely do web pages crash browsers. There are cases of
malformed content or buggy plugins (or maybe beta browsers) that
sometimes cause this to happen, but I doubt that a Google search would
do it, so it's more likely to be either:

A corrupt cache
(empty your cache)

or

A corrupt install of Mozilla
(rpm -Vva mozilla* #possibly followed by...
rpm -Uvh --force mozilla*.rpm)

or

Possibly something wrong with your profile
(mozilla -profilemanager #create a new profile, and test Google again)

Meanwhile you can try to figure out exactly what's going wrong, with:

strace mozilla
