The X logs are much more informative. I have attached them below as
they are large.  I have also attached my X config file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.0-2

How reproducible:
Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://smh.com.au/polls/sport/form.html (using moz 1.4.1)
2. Click "view results"
3. X quits immediately.
    

Actual Results:  X quit immediately.

Expected Results:  Should have followed the link without crashing

Additional info:
 I suspect this might be an nvidia driver bug.

Can you reproduce this at will every time?  If so, can you disable
acceleration to test if that is what is causing it?  Please use
Option "noaccel" in the driver section of the config file.
