Since many versions, I am randomly crashing on RHEL 6.2 using latest firefox. I mostly use this configuration at work using exchange web, jira, gmail and facebook.

I often get warnings about flash being blocked but updating flash version didn't work for me.

I get this crash several times a day. I would say 20.

In the shell I usually get: firefox: xcb_io.c:378: _XAllocID: Assertion `ret != inval_id' failed. [NPAPI 26393] ###!!!

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page.
