That's not our experience. Firefox crashed randomly and  
nspluginwrapper + Flash seemd to be the culprit. We're not on RHEL5+  
though (as it's not out yet AFAIK), just CentOS 5.2.

If had something reportable I would have reported it, but we didn't  
find anything reproducable. We only had users complaining about  
randomly Firefox crashing in a production environment and switchting  
to 32-bit fixed it.
