firefox is regularly dying

[Robert L Cochran]

I have no problems visiting the site you mention,

http://linux-kvm.org

I do not have Javascript turned off. You might be applying very 
different security settings from what I am. You can see the page source 
with CTRL-U. It helps to closely examine the page source to figure out 
what the problem might be. And you can always wget it instead of browse 
to it. The <style> section is shown.

<style  type="text/css"media="screen,projection">/*<![CDATA[*/ @import "/wiki/skins/kvm/main.css?7"; /*]]>*/</style>
