I run Firefox and Thunderbird on several machines 64bit, 32bit, PPC and 
only rarely get a hang which usually has something oddly to do with a 
page that I hit and a bad script in it. This occasionally happens on 
windows too, but not at any differently of a frequency.

Is it possible that there is a problem with limited resources when 
running the live Disc? When firefox crashes there's sometimes a feedback 
agent which may or may not be in the liveCD version. I would say hit up 
mozilla's forums and ask where the log is and send that in to them to 
see if it's something in the program.

You could also try a Breezy live CD or a Kubuntu live CD and see if 
anything is different.
