Which "Mozilla" version? Firefox 12, Iceweasel 3.0.x...? If it's the
latter, update it ASAP: the browser is probably crashing because of some
javascript code or the flash player plugin.
In the meantime, you can try with Epiphany (if running GNOME) or
Konqueror (for KDE). Both are installed by default when a DE is selected.
