No, but the problem isn't FC specific.

I run the stock version of Firefox 2.0.0.2 on RHELv4-U4 and the same thing 
happens occasionally.  I've not searched the Mozilla/Firefox forums so I 
don't know if it is a reported problem.  In any event, with 2.0, when 
Firefox crashes like that it will offer to restore your previous session so 
you don't lose much time.
