If you are absolutely sure that the program in question is good, then
SIG11 probably means you have a hardware problem.  In this case, it
could be a RAM problem, either a bad RAM stick, or one that fails under
stress, and firefox can certainly be stressful when it wants to be.  B^)

Firefox, stressful? When you're reading text or loading a page, no video? I wonder what your smiley is supposed to mean. I tested the memory about 6 months ago. It was OK.

But I have lots of problems with electricity. 3 power failures last weekend. The switch of a lamp that I changed 2 years ago is still dead. I turn the light on only once or twice at night. About 15 minutes after I open it, my LCD TV makes a very loud nosie and the image disappears making place to some heavy "snow". It lasts a few seconds, then the image and sound come back to normal. There's no correspondence between these problems and the computer problems though.

I'll continue the inquiry. Thanks for your help. I saved the page and I'll check when I have time.
