Can confirm with 64-bit and 8400 GS (it seems to be platform independent, 8 series only).

From Xorg.0.log.old:

Backtrace:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

firefox -safe-mode did not help. I tried nohup firefox and got this from nohup.out:

...don't know if it's relevant. I propose an importance raise - having a web site able to crash Xorg might have security implications, right?
