Could be alot of things... bad RAM, bad cache file, bad video driver, 
corrupted XUL preload file. I'd bet on some sort of mozilla profile problem, 
though.
Try removing the XUL.mfasl file from your profile directory, usually something 
like ~/.mozilla/default/<something>.slt/XUL.mfasl
and remove mozilla's cache file. Both will be rebuilt. See if things improve 
for you. 
If not, run memtest86 on the RAM. Let it run at least overnight, longer is 
better.
