Sorry for the "me too" post, but since people are reporting
different results: I have two main computers, one running
4.10 and one running 5.2-CURRENT, but with otherwise
similar setups. GNOME in both cases.

The CURRENT machine is fine; I'm pretty sure I've never had a
crash in several months of operation. The 4.10 machine is
similar to the OP's report: I get relatively frequent but
unpredictable crashes on complex Web pages, with both
Mozilla and Firefox.

It's annoying, and I'd love to know causes and solutions!
