    Hi,

    My firefox keeps dieing with a segmentation fault. First question is: what's a
    segmentation fault? Second: what can I do to find out what is causing it and
    fix it?

    There doesn't seem to be any particular cause although I think it is related
    to page rendering. Going to this page

    http://www.steadfastequipment.com/

    makes it fail every time but it seems fairly random. The problem started today
    but I don't remember seeing firefox get updated today. I suspected for a
    while that it was animated gifs that were causing the problem but that
    doesn't seem to be the case as I tested it on plenty and it didn't fail but
    it did fail on a page without any gifs.

    Many Thanks,

    Graham
