Hi Dmitri, the binaries you downloaded were compiled on Debian unstable, crashes can be caused by different dynamic libraries found on your computer.
Usually Firefox/IceCat are very stable and don't crash so often. In any case they don't crash more often on GNU/Linux than on Windows. If it happens with Firefox too maybe the reason is a bugged library, are you sure that your system is updated? I read about your connection problems but if it is possible to you, please download the source code and try to compile it, I am quite sure you will solve your problems in this way or at least make IceCat stable as Firefox (they both can't do anything if the problem is in another library).
