Any comments.
CPU usage of Firefox is indeed a bit high, but everything else seems normal. This looks like a simple Firefox crash to me. Things happen.
On the other hand, if Firefox (and Firefox only) crashes very often, you should investigate. Crashes can be caused by some (especially non-free) plugins, extensions, and last but not least - lousy backport.
It is also available in Debian Unstable. You might want to try it, if possible.I though instead of having mixed system, it is better to have backports. apt-get upgrade for sarge with backports will be better than for mixed system. I may be corrected and explained if I am wrong.
Sometimes, but not necessary. When using mixed system, you can run into various dependency problems, but these packages are maintained by Debian Developers. Backports have no dependency problems, but they are usually made by people not directly related to Debian, so there is no guarantee for quality of package. So you see, it depends.
You can also download the source and compile it yourself.
