Sounds pretty strange to me. There's some very simple bugfixes in the 
newer release, nothing I could imagine that would be crashing your 
Mozilla. You sure it's not for example the flash plugin crashing the 
browser?

There is one thing however, the new package is compiled on Fedora Core. 
While I've tested it on Red Hat 9 without finding any problems, you 
might want to try creating a new package yourself anyway.

Do it like this:
- Download firestarter-0.9.2-3.src.rpm
- Run "rpmbuild --rebuild firestarter-0.9.2-3.src.rpm"
- The resulting package will be located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
   Uninstall the old package and install the new,
    "rpm -e firestarter"
    "rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/firestarter-0.9.3-3.i386.rpm"

If the new package works better, please let me know.
