Look for a font problem.

I had a problem where Mozilla would crash on certain sites or certain 
email that had foreign characters.  There is an issue on redhat bug site.

Search your system for zysong.ttf.

If it isn't there in /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType type in
   ln -s  gbsn00lp.ttf zysong.ttf

This fixed my crash.  It was on an upgraded system and a fully clean 
install of FC1
