i just found out that i have this issue too :-( on a new old machine we just
got from a junkyard.
we use fc6 + ltsp 4.2 on the server. and the terminal has a i810 video card
+ 1M ram amongst other hardware.

it crashes the X on clicking a specific site. thou right-click and open in a
new window does not crash the firefox (ver 2.0.0.3)
also, opening the same site with Opera works fine (which is our main browser
on a kde session)

i'll try setting the video card driver manually to svga and see what
happens... (tomorrow)
