Could you provide more details? Have you checked if the bug has
already been filed? There are a few crashers still left in the 4.x
code.

This sounds new to me. More details, please. If you can copy (or
screenshot) the exact error message, which website you were visiting,
and how you got to that page (link from other site, link in other
application, bookmark, url bar), then we should file a new bug.

Konqueror displays correctly coded pages better than any other browser
with the possible exception of Opera. However, Firefox is much more
forgiving of non-compliant code. Furthermore, some webpages rely upon
pixel-perfect alignment of elements which do not have such alignments
defined in HTML specs. Therefore, each browser displays them a bit
differently. When viewed in a browser which uses a different amount of
padding / spacing than the browser that it was coded for, the site
looks bad. Truth is, I am borderline guilty of coding some of my own
sites this way.
