[COLUG] FireFox Misbehaving??

Howdy All,

Has anyone noticed that this latest update of FireFox is very 
crash-happy?  There are a few Linux boxes (CentOS 5.1 specifically) on 
which the FireFoxen regularly crash and offer to send a bug report.

This "feels" like a memory issue.  It happens mostly when I try to 
download a file, before the box pops up asking for the directory into 
which the file goes, the app segfaults.  However, if I go to the same site 
and link, I can download the file.

I don't have many plugins activated - just Java and Flash.  Previous 
versions of FireFox seem to behave themselves.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Cheers,
-J
