I have been having a problem with firefox (on a ThinkPad T23).
Basically, it exits as soon as certain sites are accessed.
I downloaded the sources at one of these sites (with wget)
and the same behaviour occurred when looking at the file.
I think the problem lies in javascript;
when I turned it off (in Firefox Preferences)
the problem stopped in most (but not all) cases.
I tried removing and re-installing firefox and js (with yum)
but this didn't do any good.
Somehow I do not see a package called js in my list? Is this something
that you installed from a different repo? Could you send across the
sites (if they are public) to the list?
could you also try running the browser in safe mode (no plugins / themes
are loaded)
> firefox -safe-mode
If you are still seeing issues, then I guess there is an issue with
firefox itself

It seems to me the problem probably lies in a firefox plugin.
So I was looking at these, and found the whole setup pretty confusing.
I wonder if there is any document that explains firefox setup clearly?
I really hate these directories with names like "9eaqek76.Default User".
Why these idiotic names?
Is there any simple way of seeing what plugins are in use?
And if one deletes a plugin, how can it be replaced?
