Firefox has always been a bit unstable for me. It used to crash once
a week or so. Usually this bug:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21583
I admit that I use a lot of windows and tabs.
In the last few days, firefox has started to crash once a day or so.
You can see this by the timestamps on my core files:

-rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1280552960 2009-09-20 14:23 core.2978

-rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408507904 2009-09-22 17:54 core.5627
Nice and big, eh?
These recent crashes are signal 11's -- segfaults. This is new to me.
This firefox was installed September 16. I'm not sure why it started
crashing. Maybe a particular web page that I have open.
Anyone else notice a recent increase in firefox crashes?
Oh, while I'm asking, any idea why firefox spews this on the console?
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I get hundreds of them.
I almost never use Flash (I have flashblock).
PS: the gdb backtraces on the firefox cores doesn't seem informative:
