I'm getting this message too and firefox does not crash. The crash has
to be something else. Please build firefox with DEBUG, load the core
file in gdb and show us the output.

Just read the thread on the forums, did you rebuild firefox after
upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1? If you didn't please do, there were problems
in 9.0 that could explain this.

   Yes, FireFox was rebuilt after upgrade to FreeBSD v9.1; however, not
   sure about DEBUG.  I will check and rebuild if necessary (of course,
   this will take some time).  In the mean time, could the fact that my
   processors are Pentium III's as per the following?  (I know Mozilla FF
   recommends minimum Pentium IV.)
   The equipment is a Compaq ProLiant ML370 G1 with 4GB RAM

   Thanks for your quick response,
