[SOLVED]Firefox segfaults with new update

Since firefox upgraded to 17.0.1, I'm getting random crashes--mostly when a site opens a new tab or I click a link from one page to another.  I started firefox in a terminal and this is what it spits out when it crashes:

Segmentation fault

Anyone else having this problem?

Edit: Just downgraded to firefox-16.0.2-1 and it crashed once but I can't get it to do it again and I didn't start it in a terminal so I have no idea if it was the same kind of thing.

Re: [SOLVED]Firefox segfaults with new update

Today's update of firefox to 17.0.1-1 seems to have resolved my issues so I'll mark this as solved.  BTW it was i686 package.
