A google search on "Mozilla Firefox Fedora Crash" yeilds some pretty good stuff. First I think I would re-post this titled "Mozilla Firefox Crash". I think you would get a faster response. Second, I think I would scan my system for virus and mal-ware before reinstalling the software. Third, I think I would look into the partition space permitted to the programs you often re-install here. Do they have enough room to grow thier histories, store thier cookies etc... Good hunting!
