And to add to that excellent advise from Peter;

4. Flash, Java and plugins/add-ons are probably the #1 causes of
crashes. Check your plugin files for broken links etc. Also, it's
probably not a bad idea if you run these to purge & reinstall directly.

I had a similar problem with SeaMonkey right after it's most current
release (1.1.8); I'd be going along & poof! it would disappear right off
the radar. I finally traced it down to a broken plugin/add-on link using
gdb. Went back into my .mozilla/plugins folder and found the broken link
and that resolved the issue.
