Is there maybe a way to get the thread that was running when
the process was involuntarily preempted run first, instead of
running it based on priority?  Netscape, at least, made this
assumption for Java and Javascript pages.

Alternately, you may try disabling Java* in Mozilla, and see
if that keeps you from crashing.

Also try not moving the mouse until everything is loaded, and
see if that saves you, too.
