Hello,
Why just do not try to uninstall mozilla and install mozilla like 1.0.8-1. Or even older?
See what will comes(finds out) from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/releases/
If you mean 1.0.2 as saying 2.0, just upgrade it, as root, you probably know:
yum update mozilla
And good luck.

When I avoid flash and java sites I typically have as many as 100 tabs open scattered between a dozen Firefox windows that stay open for a week or two at a time. Usually in that time I'll open a flash site and eventually need to restart Firefox. Happens often enough that I installed the extension to put a restart Firefox button in the tools menu. I also have about 30 extensions installed. So it's not Firefox itself but the way it talks to certain plug ins. I had this problem with 1.5 and still have it with 2.0.
I'm running FC6 but had the problem back when I was still running FC3.
I will have a play with various extensions and plugins. I dont have that many extensions or plugins. So wont take long to find the culprit if this is ineed the case!
It's weird, cos it's not like a leak of CPU cycles now for me, as soon as i open firefox it starts hammering the CPU at 99% constant!
