Update: It seems that we fixed the problem while I was talking with my friend 
on Facebook. The only thing he had to do to stop these crashes was to 
apparently check the box in Firefox preferences->content->fonts & 
colors->advanced which says: "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of 
my selections above." 
So it seems that when he changed the fonts of Firefox and unchecked that box, 
it caused a bug. He didn't change anything else, so this must be the reason. 
Unless the bug comes back, he tested all the things that caused that bug and 
nothing crashed, so I think it's fixed now. 
And he told me now that actually it was not just Firefox that crashed, his 
panels didn't show (autohide enabled) and the mouse didn't move. Still it would 
be nice, if this could be fixed so you didn't have to check that box, because 
some people (like my friend) need bigger fonts. The reason I haven't 
encountered this problem is because I haven't changed the fonts and unchecked 
that box, but I presume it would happen to me too if I tried it (not taking any 
chances XD).

Fortress of Solitude, have you uncheked that box and changed the fonts
in Firefox too?
