One thing--I have been guilty of this too--on nfl.com does it die as in
crash or die as in freeze?  I find that native firefox will freeze on
some flash heavy sites (this thread's come up on forums from time to
time.)  espn.com is one, tvguide.com when one tries to view the
description of a particular show's listing is another.  (The same holds
for mozilla and epiphany and no doubt any others using gecko).  

They don't crash as in close, leaving a .core file--they simply freeze
completely, not responding to keyboard or mouse.

but I have enough so that I can't do this.
