Firefox isn't bad.  Not at all.  Here are some presents it recently left 
me.

    $ ls -ltr core.*
    -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1669668864 2009-09-12 02:17 core.2981
    -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1280552960 2009-09-20 14:23 core.2978
    -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408999424 2009-09-21 15:33 core.12617
    -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408507904 2009-09-22 17:54 core.5627

If only I could find where the bug is in each 1.x GiB lump.

(The last 3 were segfaults.)
