Firefix random crashes

Some more info:
When running in safe mode we cannot get the browser to crash.
However, when running the browser with all addons manually disabled the browser still crashes. Therefore I don’t believe addons are causing the problem.

When in safe mode, although the browser doesn’t crash when loading real work allocation, it does lockup and we get a "program not responding" label at the top of the window for a few seconds.

I think lock up and crash could be caused by the javscript animation that is fading the pane in and out. Is there a way of disabling the animation?

It hasn't fixed the issue.
The animation is definitely disabled but firefox still crashes when loading that page.

We generally using Windows 7, Firefox V14.0.1, i5 core as well, 4Gb RAM, some people on Linux using Firefox V14.0.1 as well. Crashes happening on both - Windows 7 and Linux. Looking more like Firefox issue (we have reported it)
