I haven't had any crashing or failing to start, but Firefox in Linux has always been pretty bad in general for me. Slow UI, unusable in NX (constant screen redraws; Thunderbird does the same thing), network stalling for MINUTES at a time, slow to load, etc. Other browsers on the same machine don't suffer any of these problems. I don't use Firefox as my primary browser because it is so flaky. At work I use Firefox in Windows XP all day long on a much slower computer, and it is faster (UI responsiveness feeling, not benchmarks) and has none of the problems I have always experienced on my home Gentoo box. It's been a long-standing mystery.
