If konqueror crashes, next time it starts it notes that it didn't close 
correctly and asks if you want to resume that session.  Unfortunately I 
don't believe it's possible to do that with closing it normally, but if 
you issue a killall -9 konqueror (from a terminal window or krunner), it 
causes the kernel to "kill it with extreme prejudice", IOW, without 
letting it save its settings.  That should do it.  You could of course 
setup a quick script with a menu entry or icon somewhere that you could 
click, to do it for you, if desired.

That should be reasonably easy to fix.  Simply delete the firefox 
settings/profiles/database and let it start over with a new one.  That 
info should be under ~/.mozilla.  If you wish, you can try saving it 
elsewhere (backing it up) and restoring a bit at a time, until you find 
what file is triggering the crash, and/or use the strace -eopen technique 
I was describing in another thread, either here or in the kde-linux 
newsgroup/list (they're newsgroups to me, as I participate using 
gmane.org's list2news gateway).
