What NetBSD release/arch and firefox version are you using?
I've been using Firefox-2.0.0.X (up to X=9) on NetBSD
i386/4.0_RC[1234] with various plugins and its been very
reliable (with the exception of 2.0.0.8). This is using
modular X11 from pkgsrc, all compiled for PIII with various
other optimisations enabled.
Add-ons:
Console2, del.icio.us Bookmarks, Flashblock, Header
Spy, Live HTTP Headers, Tab Mix Plus, Unicode converter,
User Agent Switcher, Web Developer
