lessoffensive, it is probably an issue related to the nvidia proprietary driver.
I use gnome 2.22 so it's probably not KDE related.
I once thought it was related to x86_64 : I made a chroot yesterday and used firefox 3.04 i686, and it also crashed... So it's probably neither 64b.
For information I use firefox with ~10 windows and a total of ~120 tabs.

I have a 9800GT (which is in fact a 8800GT renamed), and currently use the beta drivers 180.18.
As your firefox crashes with the new 180.22 and not with 180.16, I'll try to use 180.16 for a while to see if it crashes or not.

So now I don't really know what to do, maybe a bugreport to nvidia?
