I have a dual-core AMD system running Fedora Core 7 (and before that, FC6). I used to get this kind of FireFox crash every few days. After I turned off one core I seem to get a lot fewer. I cannot be sure that turning off the core was the cause of fewer FireFox misbehaviours -- it could be a coincidence of time.
(I turned off one core because of a Linux kernel bug that showed up this spring.)
It seems to me that this mildly supports the race condition theory.
